Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: imx: allow to disable board specific PHY fixups
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2020 13:04:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200329110457.4113-1-o.rempel@pengutronix.de> (raw)

All PHY fixups located in imx and mxs machine code are PHY and/or board
specific. Never the less, they are applied to all boards independent on
how related PHY is actually connected. As result:
- we have boards with wrong PHY defaults which are not overwritten or
  not properly handled by PHY drivers.
- Some PHY driver changes was never tested and bugs was never detected
  due the fixups.
- Same PHY specific errata was fixed by SoC specific fixup, so the same
  issues should be investigated again after switching to different SoC
  on same board.

Since removing this fixups will brake may existing boards, we'll provide a
Kconfig option which can be used by kernel developers and system integrators.

+	  In the early days it was common practice to configure PHYs by adding a
+	  phy_register_fixup*() in the machine code. This practice turned out to
+	  be potentially dangerous, because:
+	  - it affects all PHYs in the system
+	  - these register changes are usually not preserved during PHY reset
+	    or suspend/resume cycle.
+	  - it complicates debugging, since these configuration changes were not
+	    done by the actual PHY driver.
+	  This option allows to disable all fixups which are identified as
+	  potentially harmful and give the developers a chance to implement the
+	  proper configuration via the device tree (e.g.: phy-mode) and/or the
+	  related PHY drivers.
