Subject: mv88e6240 configuration broken for B850v3
Date: Fri, 03 Dec 2021 09:06:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b98043f66e8c6f1fd75d11af7b28c55018c58d79.camel@collabora.com> (raw)

Hi Andrew,

I'm currently in the process of updating the GE B850v3 [1] to run a
newer kernel than the one it's currently running. 

This device (and others in the same family) use a mv88e6240 switch to
provide a number of their ethernet ports. The CPU link on the switch is
connected via a PHY, as the network port on the SoM used is exposed via
a PHY.

The ports of the B850v3 stopped working when I upgraded, bisecting
resulted in me finding that this commit was the root cause:

3be98b2d5fbc (refs/bisect/bad) net: dsa: Down cpu/dsa ports phylink
will control

I think this is causing the PHY on the mv88e6240 side of the CPU link
to be forced down in our use case.

I assume an extra check is needed here to stop that in cases like ours,
though I'm not sure what at this point. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Martyn
