[PATCH net-next v2 2/3] net: dsa: microchip: ksz8: Enable MIIM PHY Control reg access

[Oleksij Rempel]

Provide access to MIIM PHY Control register (Reg. 31) through
ksz8_r_phy_ctrl() and ksz8_w_phy_ctrl() functions. Necessary for
upcoming micrel.c patch to address forced link mode configuration.

[PATCH net-next v2 3/3] net: phy: micrel: Fix forced link mode for KSZ886X switches

[Oleksij Rempel]

Address a link speed detection issue in KSZ886X PHY driver when in
forced link mode. Previously, link partners like "ASIX AX88772B"
with KSZ8873 could fall back to 10Mbit instead of configured 100Mbit.

The issue arises as KSZ886X PHY continues sending Fast Link Pulses (FLPs)
even with autonegotiation off, misleading link partners in autoneg mode,
leading to incorrect link speed detection.

Now, when autonegotiation is disabled, the driver sets the link state
forcefully using KSZ886X_CTRL_FORCE_LINK bit. This action, beyond just
disabling autonegotiation, makes the PHY state more reliably detected by
link partners using parallel detection, thus fixing the link speed
misconfiguration.

With autonegotiation enabled, link state is not forced, allowing proper
autonegotiation process participation.

Have you considered denying "ethtool -s swpN autoneg off" in "net.git"
(considering that it doesn't work properly), and re-enabling it in
"net-next.git"?

__genphy_config_aneg() will call genphy_setup_forced() as appropriate,
and additionally it will resync the master-slave resolution to a forced
value, if needed. So I think it's better to call genphy_config_aneg()
from the common code path, and just use the "if (phydev->autoneg)" test
to keep the vendor-specific register in sync with the autoneg setting.

Yes, but for ksz8 task I don't have budget to go this way.
