Could we get Sean to chime in, maybe there was a valid reason to disable 
EEE advertisement in the first place?

I see the state of this patch series is deferred on patchwork. I see that I

Sorry, but imho it should go to net-next, and you might have overlook
it but there have been some concerns.

For sure it should not go to net tree as you are enabling a new feature
and not fixing anything which is broken. EEE on MT7988 works fine as
of now (see my reply), EEE on MT7531 was supposedly intentionally
disabled for reasons we should ask MTK people about.

I don't believe I overlooked anything. I've come to this conclusion after
reading every response in this thread.

EEE support exists since the commit which I've mentioned on my patches
here. I am fixing it. I thought I had explained this clearly on the
patches.

Are you talking about the EEE_DIS bit on the trap? There's no default
setting there, it's up to the board vendor to enable/disable EEE by pulling
the affine pin low or high. So there's no intentional disabling by MediaTek
there. I see no need to ask the corporate regarding this.

This patch series does not in any way enable EEE on the switch PHYs and
MACs when it's disabled by default.

Can I get an opinion on this? Is it actually possible that the PHY driver
would start probing after the DSA subdriver? On the console logs for the
DSA subdriver, I can see that the name of the PHY driver will appear, which
makes me believe the PHY driver would actually never probe after the DSA
subdriver.

It would be really great if you could tell us which bug fixes you're
submitting are for a real problem that you or a user have encountered,
and which are down to essentially code inspection and things that
"aren't correct". Basically, don't do this.

It isn't true that the PHY specific driver will be probed before DSA
initialises - consider the case where the DSA driver is built-in but
the PHY specific driver is modular and on the not-yet-mounted rootfs.
That would result in the generic PHY driver being used even when the
PHY specific driver were to be loaded later - and thus only basic
standard 802.3 PHY behaviour will be supported.

That's not specific to mt7530, it applies to everything that uses
phylib. It isn't something that really warrants "bug fixing" in each
and every driver.

I agree. Patch 1 fixes a real problem, patch 2 "fixes" a problem found with
code inspection. Though, it would be great if you could review patch 2.

That makes sense. But there's a special case with the MT7530 DSA subdriver
and mediatek-ge driver. The PHY driver is needed for the PHYs to function
properly. So the DSA subdriver forces mediatek-ge to be selected [1]. So
the PHY driver could only be compiled as a module when the DSA subdriver is
also compiled so. And that designates mediatek-ge as a dependency for the
DSA subdriver, if I understand correctly.

EEE seems to already work just fine on the MT7988 built-in switch, at least
on the BPI-R4. I don't think the SoC has bootstrap pins related to EEE like
stand-alone MT753x may have.

I would argue that EEE advertisement on the PHY should be enabled by
default. I guess we're supposed to supply that on the PHY driver. Can you
test with this diff applied and see if it works without manually enabling
EEE using ethtool?

That is an open question at the moment. For some use cases, it can add
extra delay and jitter which can cause problems. I've heard people
doing PTP don't like EEE for example.

The current phylib core code leaves the PHY advertisement whatever its
reset default is. So we leave it to the manufacture to decide if it
should be enabled or disabled by default. It is policy, so it should
really be down to user space to configure EEE how it wants it.

MediaTek consumer-grade hardware doesn't support PTP and hence that
quite certainly won't ever be an issue with all switch ICs supported
by the mt7530 driver.

I'd rather first change the (configuration) default in OpenWrt (which
is arguable the way most people are using this hardware), also because
that will be more visible/obvious for users. Or even just make EEE
configurable in the LuCI web-UI as a first step so users start playing
with it.

After all, I also have a hard time imagining that MediaTek disabled
EEE in their downstream driver for no reason:

I very much agree with that policy, changing the default definitely
feels like something which could affect quite a lot of people and
should be done very carefully, if at all.

Are you saying this to indicate that we shouldn't remove that from
mediatek-ge? If so, I've already explained that there'd be no practical
change in removing it as both MT7530 and MT7531 switches enable EEE
advertisement after mediatek-ge.

EEE tends to be an interoperability trap and typically results in 
unexplained link drops with different link partners which are difficult 
to debug and root cause. It would be great to have more context as to 
why it was disabled in the downstream tree to know what we are up 
against, though I would not be surprised if there had been a number of 
issues reported.

That said as an user, if someone has a well controlled environment, they 
should absolutely be able to turn on EEE and see how stable it holds in 
their environment.

I have started testing MT7531 with EEE enabled and immediately experienced
frames that wouldn't egress the switch or improperly received on the link
partner.

SoC MAC       <-EEE off-> MT7531 P6 MAC (acting as PHY)
MT7531 P0 MAC <-EEE on -> MT7531 P0 PHY
MT7531 P0 PHY <-EEE on -> Computer connected with twisted pair

I've tested pinging from the SoC's CPU. Packet capturing on the twisted
pair computer showed very few frames were being received.

It seems there's less loss when frames are passed more frequently.

OK, so this is intended to describe that the SoC's Ethernet MAC link to 
the integrated switch did not use EEE only the user-facing ports. That 
makes sense because it's all digital logic and you are not going to be 
seeing much power saving from having EEE enabled between the SoC's 
Ethernet MAC and CPU port of the switch, that said, however, I wonder if 
this has an impact on any form of flow control within the switch that is 
reacting to LPI and you need EEE to be enabled end-to-end?

That would point to an issue getting in and out of LPI, do you see these 
packet losses even with different LPI timeouts?

I've tested pinging between my computers with EEE enabled interfaces. The

I've tested with switch ports interfaces' tx-timer from 0 to 40, same
tx-timer for both interfaces. Loss is still there.

I suppose the MT7531 switch PHYs need calibration for EEE that is currently
missing from the mediatek-ge driver.

That makes sense because it's all digital logic and you are not going to be seeing much power saving from having EEE enabled between the SoC's Ethernet MAC and CPU port of the switch, that said, however, I wonder if this has an impact on any form of flow control within the switch that is reacting to LPI and you need EEE to be enabled end-to-end?

EEE implementations tend to be a mess in the way drivers implement the
API, so one can't at the moment rely on what ethtool says about the
status. Sadly, this is what happens when driver authors are left to
their own ends. :(

EEE is quite simple from the software point of view. There is software
negotiation of the modules that EEE supports, and then there is are
one or more timers that affect the behaviour of EEE. The LPI timer is
"how long the link needs to be idle for before _this_ end signals that
it _can_ enter low power state". The link only enters low power state
when *both* ends of the link signal that they can enter low power
state.

What calibration would be necessary?

Check out mt798x_phy_eee() on drivers/net/phy/mediatek-ge-soc.c.

We've received your patch series 4 times and this was the same thing 
with your previous b4 submission, can you find out what happened? Thanks.

It looks like my branch name was too long again. b4 0.13.0 cannot handle
branch names that are too long. I'll keep it shorter for future
submissions. It'd be great if Konstantin could provide a specific limit.

It's not really b4, it's the web endpoint and the version of python it's
running. I hope to fix it soon by applying the same workarounds as we ended up
doing for b4 itself.

I've deployed the version of endpoint that works around this bug. Hopefully,
you won't see it again regardless of the message-id length.

[PATCH 0/3] Fix EEE support for MT7531 and MT7988 SoC switch

[Arınç ÜNAL via B4 Relay]

Hi.

This patch series fixes EEE support for MT7531 and the switch on the MT7988
SoC. EEE did not work on MT7531 on most boards before this, it is unclear
what's the status on MT7988 SoC switch as I don't have the hardware.
