[PATCH v3 0/8] dwmac-meson8b Ethernet RX delay configuration

[PATCH v3 0/8] dwmac-meson8b Ethernet RX delay configuration

[Martin Blumenstingl]

The Ethernet TX performance has been historically bad on Meson8b and
Meson8m2 SoCs because high packet loss was seen. I found out that this
was related (yet again) to the RGMII TX delay configuration.
In the process of discussing the big picture (and not just a single
patch) [0] with Andrew I discovered that the IP block behind the
dwmac-meson8b driver actually seems to support the configuration of the
RGMII RX delay (at least on the Meson8b SoC generation).

Since I sent the first RFC I got additional documentation from Jianxin
(many thanks!). Also I have discovered some more interesting details:
- Meson8b Odroid-C1 requires an RX delay (by either the PHY or the MAC)
  Based on the vendor u-boot code (not upstream) I assume that it will
  be the same for all Meson8b and Meson8m2 boards
- Khadas VIM2 seems to have the RX delay built into the PCB trace
  length. When I enable the RX delay on the PHY or MAC I can't get any
  data through. I expect that we will have the same situation on all
  GXBB, GXM, AXG, G12A, G12B and SM1 boards. Further clarification is
  needed here though (since I can't visually see these lengthened
  traces on the PCB). This will be done before sending patches for
  these boards.


Dependencies for this series:
There is a soft dependency for patch #2 on commit f22531438ff42c
"dt-bindings: net: dwmac: increase 'maxItems' for 'clocks',
'clock-names' properties" which is currently in Rob's -next tree.
That commit is needed to make the dt-bindings schema validation
pass for patch #2. That patch has been for ~4 weeks in Robs tree,
so I assume that is not going to be dropped.


Changes since RFC v2 at [2]:
- dropped $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#definitions/uint32 from the
  "amlogic,rx-delay-ns" in patch #1 ("Don't need to define the
  type when in standard units." says Rob - thanks, I learned
  something new). Also use "default: 0" for for this property
  instead of explaining it in the description text.
- added a note to the cover-letter about a hidden dependency for
  dt-binding schema validation in patch #2
- Added Andrew's Reviewed-by to patches 1-7. Thank you again for
  the quick and detailed reviews, I appreciate this!
- error out if the (optional) timing-adjustment clock is missing
  but we're asked to enable the RGMII RX delay. The MAC won't
  work in this specific case and either the RX delay has to be
  provided by the PHY or the timing-adjustment clock has to be
  added.
- dropped the dts patches (#9-11) which were only added to give
  an overview how this is going to be used. those will be sent
  separately
- dropped the RFC prefix

Changes since RFC v1 at [1]:
- add support for the timing adjustment clock input (dt-bindings and
  in the driver) thanks to the input from the unnamed Ethernet engineer
  at Amlogic. This is the missing link between the fclk_div2 clock and
  the Ethernet controller on Meson8b (no traffic would flow if that
  clock was disabled)
- add support fot the amlogic,rx-delay-ns property. The only supported
  values so far are 0ns and 2ns. The registers seem to allow more
  precise timing adjustments, but I could not make that work so far.
- add more register documentation (for the new RX delay bits) and
  unified the placement of existing register documentation. Again,
  thanks to Jianxin and the unnamed Ethernet engineer at Amlogic
- DO NOT MERGE: .dts patches to show the conversion of the Meson8b
  and Meson8m2 boards to "rgmii-id". I didn't have time for all arm64
  patches yet, but these will switch to phy-mode = "rgmii-txid" with
  amlogic,rx-delay-ns = <0> (because the delay seems to be provided by
  the PCB trace length).

[PATCH v3 1/8] dt-bindings: net: meson-dwmac: Add the amlogic,rx-delay-ns property

[Martin Blumenstingl]

The PRG_ETHERNET registers on Meson8b and newer SoCs can add an RX
delay. Add a property with the known supported values so it can be
configured according to the board layout.

[Martin Blumenstingl]

The PRG_ETHERNET registers can add an RX delay in RGMII mode. This
requires an internal re-timing circuit whose input clock is called
"timing adjustment clock". Document this clock input so the clock can be
enabled as needed.

Rob, there is a soft dependency for this patch on commit f22531438ff42c
"dt-bindings: net: dwmac: increase 'maxItems' for 'clocks',
'clock-names' properties" which is currently in your dt-next branch.
That commit is needed to make the dt-bindings schema validation pass,
because it increases the maximum number allowed clocks for anything
that extends "snps,dwmac" from three to five (here I need four clocks).

[Martin Blumenstingl]

The PRG_ETHERNET registers have a built-in timing adjustment circuit
which can provide the RX delay in RGMII mode. This is driven by an
external (to this IP, but internal to the SoC) clock input. Fetch this
clock as optional (even though it's there on all supported SoCs) since
we just learned about it and existing .dtbs don't specify it.

[PATCH v3 7/8] net: stmmac: dwmac-meson8b: Make the clock enabling code re-usable

[Martin Blumenstingl]

The timing adjustment clock will need similar logic as the RGMII clock:
It has to be enabled in the driver conditionally and when the driver is
unloaded it should be disabled again. Extract the existing code for the
RGMII clock into a new function so it can be re-used.

[PATCH v3 8/8] net: stmmac: dwmac-meson8b: add support for the RX delay configuration

[Martin Blumenstingl]

Configure the PRG_ETH0_ADJ_* bits to enable or disable the RX delay
based on the various RGMII PHY modes. For now the only supported RX
delay settings are:
- disabled, use for example for phy-mode "rgmii-id"
- 0ns - this is treated identical to "disabled", used for example on
  boards where the PHY provides 2ns TX delay and the PCB trace length
  already adds 2ns RX delay
- 2ns - for whenever the PHY cannot add the RX delay and the traces on
  the PCB don't add any RX delay

Disabling the RX delay (in case u-boot enables it, which is the case
for example on Meson8b Odroid-C1) simply means that PRG_ETH0_ADJ_ENABLE,
PRG_ETH0_ADJ_SETUP, PRG_ETH0_ADJ_DELAY and PRG_ETH0_ADJ_SKEW should be
disabled (just disabling PRG_ETH0_ADJ_ENABLE may be enough, since that
disables the whole re-timing logic - but I find it makes more sense to
clear the other bits as well since they depend on that setting).

u-boot on Odroid-C1 uses the following steps to enable a 2ns RX delay:
- enabling enabling the timing adjustment clock
- enabling the timing adjustment logic by setting PRG_ETH0_ADJ_ENABLE
- setting the PRG_ETH0_ADJ_SETUP bit

The documentation for the PRG_ETH0_ADJ_DELAY and PRG_ETH0_ADJ_SKEW
registers indicates that we can even set different RX delays. However,
I could not find out how this works exactly, so for now we only support
a 2ns RX delay using the exact same way that Odroid-C1's u-boot does.

Is it likely other MACs will need rx-delay property, too? Should we get rid of the amlogic,
prefix?

Yes, there are several MAC bindings that already define a delay property:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/allwinner,sun8i-a83t-emac.yaml:
     allwinner,rx-delay-ps:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/allwinner,sun8i-a83t-emac.yaml:
     allwinner,rx-delay-ps:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/apm-xgene-enet.txt:- rx-delay:
Delay value for RGMII bridge RX clock.
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/apm-xgene-enet.txt:       rx-delay
= <2>;
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/cavium-pip.txt:- rx-delay: Delay
value for RGMII receive clock. Optional. Disabled if 0.
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/mediatek-dwmac.txt:-
mediatek,rx-delay-ps: RX clock delay macro value. Default is 0.
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/mediatek-dwmac.txt:
mediatek,rx-delay-ps = <1530>;

standardizing on rx-delay-ps and tx-delay-ps would make sense since that
is the lowest resolution and the property would be correctly named with
an unit in the name.

Seems like similar patch is already being reviewed from Dan Murphy (?)
from TI.

Dan is working on the PHY side. But there is probably code which can
be shared.

One question to consider, do we want the same properties names for MAC
and PHY, or do we want to make them different, to avoid confusion?

We have same properties accross different hardware (compatible, reg),
so same property between MAC and PHY seems to make sense.
