[net-next: PATCH v3 0/6] ACPI MDIO support for Marvell controllers

[net-next: PATCH v3 0/6] ACPI MDIO support for Marvell controllers

[Marcin Wojtas]

Hi,

The third version of the patchset main change is
dropping a clock handling optimisation patch
for mvmdio driver. Other than that it sets
explicit dependency on FWNODE_MDIO for CONFIG_FSL_XGMAC_MDIO
and applies minor cosmetic improvements (please see the
'Changelog' below).

The firmware ACPI description is exposed in the public github branch:
https://github.com/semihalf-wojtas-marcin/edk2-platforms/commits/acpi-mdio-r20210613
There is also MacchiatoBin firmware binary available for testing:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eigP_aeM4wYQpEaLAlQzs3IN_w1-kQr0

I'm looking forward to the comments or remarks.

Best regards,
Marcin

Changelog:
v2->v3
* Rebase on top of net-next/master.
* Drop "net: mvmdio: simplify clock handling" patch.
* 1/6 - fix code block comments.
* 2/6 - unchanged

[net-next: PATCH v3 1/6] Documentation: ACPI: DSD: describe additional MAC configuration

[Marcin Wojtas]

Document additional MAC configuration modes which can be processed
by the existing fwnode_ phylink helpers:

* "managed" standard ACPI _DSD property [1]
* "fixed-link" data-only subnode linked in the _DSD package via
  generic mechanism of the hierarchical data extension [2]

[net-next: PATCH v3 2/6] net: mdiobus: Introduce fwnode_mdbiobus_register()

[Marcin Wojtas]

This patch introduces a new helper function that
wraps acpi_/of_ mdiobus_register() and allows its
usage via common fwnode_ interface.

Fall back to raw mdiobus_register() in case CONFIG_FWNODE_MDIO
is not enabled, in order to satisfy compatibility
in all future user drivers.

Now that the MDIO and phylink are supported in the ACPI
world, enable to use them in the mvpp2 driver. Ensure a backward
compatibility with the firmware whose ACPI description does
not contain the necessary elements for the proper phy handling
and fall back to relying on the link interrupts instead.

I would really appreciate if this third revision can possibly get
attention some in coming days. There's still some buffer for
improvements, so that in case of no objections, it can be queued for
v5.14 via net-next tree.

Thanks,

At least in the DT world, it is pretty unusual to see both fixed-link
and phy-mode. You might have one of the four RGMII modes, in order to
set the delays when connecting to a switch. But sgmii and fixed link
seems very unlikely, how is sgmii autoneg going to work?

I wounder if here you should call mdiobus_register(mdio), rather than

Same as the freescale MDIO bus driver, you should add

depends on FWNODE_MDIO

Otherwise you might find randconfig builds end up with it disabled,
and then linker errors.

I'm not too sure about this last one. You only use fixed-link when
connecting to an Ethernet switch. I doubt anybody will try ACPI and a
switch. It has been agreed, ACPI is for simple hardware, and you need
to use DT for advanced hardware configurations.

What is your use case for fixed-link?

I did a quick experiment:
git grep -C 8 fixed-link arch/arm64/boot/dts/
git grep -C 8 fixed-link arch/arm/boot/dts/
almost all MAC nodes (i.e. not switch ports) containing 'fixed-link'
have an adjacent 'phy-mode' property defined. How else would the
drivers know how to configure the HW connection type in its registers?

Indeed most cases in the tree are "rgmii*", but we can also see e.g.
10gbase-r, sgmii and 2500base-x. You can find sgmii + fixed-link on
the eth1 of the armada-388-clearfog. Regarding the autoneg - I'm
mostly familiar with the mvneta/mvpp2, but in this mode the
autonegotiation is disabled and the link is forcibly set up/down in
MAC registers during the netedev_open/close accordingly. FYI, along
with the 10G ports on CN913x-DB, I tested fixed-link on Macchiatobin
sgmii port.

Anyway - all above is a bit side discussion to the actual DSDT
description and how the fixed-link subnode looks like. I think
phy-mode set to "sgmii" is not incorrect, but we can change it to
whatever other type of your preference, as well.

Best regards,
Marcin

rgmii would be better, so we side step the whole auto-neg discussion.

SGMII autoneg is supposed to be disabled if you have a fixed-link, and
there is nothing unusual in that kind of setup.
There are 3 types of phylink setups:

MLO_AN_INBAND: there might or might not be a phy-handle, but SGMII
               autoneg should be enabled and the MAC should be
               reconfigured automatically (in hardware) to the right
               speed/duplex based on that
MLO_AN_PHY: there is a phy-handle but SGMII autoneg should be disabled*
            and the MAC should be reconfigured (forced) in software to
            the speed/duplex determined by reading the PHY MDIO
            registers
MLO_AN_FIXED: there is no phy-handle or phy_device, but the driver
              should do the same thing, the speed/duplex is configured
              by management (in this case DT/ACPI)

*there appears to be some debate here, since the "managed" property is
phylink-specific and therefore a phylib driver will not necessarily
disable its in-band autoneg, but this is what the existing phylink_pcs
drivers in drivers/net/pcs/ do and I think there's nothing wrong with
settling on that if phylink is being used. It does create some interesting
questions though when a driver is being converted from phylib to phylink,
since the meaning of the existing firmware bindings suddenly changes.

An SGMII link with MLO_AN_FIXED is nothing unusual, it is in fact very
widespread as a way to reduce pin count compared to the parallel RGMII.
I suspect there are more DSA setups in the field with an SGMII fixed-link
than with RGMII fixed-link, due to practicality.

The 2 characteristic features of SGMII compared to 1000base-X are:
- customization of the 16-bit configuration word communicated via the
  clause 37 state machines. Those are bypassed in MLO_AN_PHY and
  MLO_AN_FIXED modes, true
- symbol replication at 10/100 speeds.

So since it is equally valid to have an SGMII fixed-link at 100Mbps or
10Mbps, it is just as valid to have an SGMII fixed-link at 1Gbps with
in-band autoneg disabled.

Regardless of the "simple hardware" definition or whether DSA + ACPI
feasibility, you can still have e.g. the switch left in "unmanaged"
mode (or whatever the firmware configures), connected via fixed-link
to the MAC. The same effect as booting with DT, but not loading the
DSA/switch driver - the "CPU port" can be used as a normal netdev
interface.

I'd also prefer to have all 3 major interface types supported in
phylink, explicitly checked in the driver - it has not been supported
yet, but can be in the future, so let's have them covered in the
backward compatibility check.

Best regards,
Marcin

The CONFIG_MVMDIO is selected by CONFIG_MV643XX_ETH and actually there
is a real example of the previously discussed fallback to the
mdiobus_register() (without DT/ACPI and now FWNODE_MDIO). I just
checked and successfully built the kernel out of the dove_defconfig. I
only needed below fix, that will be submitted in v4:

--- a/include/linux/fwnode_mdio.h
+++ b/include/linux/fwnode_mdio.h
@@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ static inline int fwnode_mdiobus_register(struct mii_bus *bus,
         * This way, we don't have to keep compat bits around in drivers.
         */

-       return mdiobus_register(mdio);
+       return mdiobus_register(bus);
 }
 #endif

In order to leave dove_defconfig intact, I'd keep the current Kconfig
shape for this driver.

Currently (and in foreseeable future) we support only DT/ACPI as a
firmware description, reaching the last "else" means something really
wrong. The case of lack of DT/ACPI and the fallback is handled on the
include/linux/fwnode_mdio.h level.

You can do this, but i would not recommend it. Without having STP,
your network is going to be vulnerable to broadcast storms killing
your network.

Maybe i'm not understanding this correctly, but isn't this condition
enforcing there must be a fixed link in order to use the new ACPI
binding? But i expect most boards never need a fixed-link, it is
optional after all.

You could be correct, but i've seen randconfig builds find issues. So
i tend to add dependencies to avoid possible problems.  Such problem
reports tend to come weeks later, when Arnd does such builds.

Unfortunately I have to withdraw this patch, as well as xgmac_mdio
one. In case the fwnode_/of_/acpi_mdio are built as modules, we get a
cycle dependency during depmod phase of modules_install, eg.:

depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: fwnode_mdio -> of_mdio -> fwnode_mdio
depmod: ERROR: Found 2 modules in dependency cycles!

OR:

depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: acpi_mdio -> fwnode_mdio -> acpi_mdio
depmod: ERROR: Found 2 modules in dependency cycles!

The proper solution would be to merge contents of
acpi_mdiobus_register and of_mdiobus_register inside the common
fwnode_mdiobus_register (so that the former would only call the
latter). However this change seems feasible, but I'd expect it to be a
patchset bigger than this one alone and deserves its own thorough
review and testing, as it would affect huge amount of current
of_mdiobus_register users.

Given above, for now I will resubmit this patchset in the shape as
proposed in v1, i.e. using the 'if' condition explicitly in mvmdio
driver.

Best regards,
Marcin
