Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 0/4] net: fec: fix refclk enable for SMSC LAN8710/20

From: Richard Leitner <[email protected]>

This patch series fixes the use of the SMSC LAN8710/20 with a Freescale ETH
when the refclk is generated by the FSL.

This patchset depends on the "phylib: Add device reset GPIO support" patch
submitted by Geert Uytterhoeven/Sergei Shtylyov, which was merged to
net-next as commit bafbdd527d56 ("phylib: Add device reset GPIO support").

Changes v5:
- fix reset delay calculation (max_t instead of min_t)

Changes v4:
- simplify dts parsing
- simplify reset delay evaluation and execution
- fec: ensure to only reset once during fec_enet_open()
- remove dependency notes from commit message
- add reviews and acks

Changes v3:
- use phylib to hard-reset the PHY
- implement reset delays in phylib
- add new phylib API & flag (PHY_RST_AFTER_CLK_EN) to determine if
a PHY is affected

Changes v2:
- simplify and fix fec_reset_phy function to support multiple calls
- include: linux: phy: harmonize phy_id{,_mask} type
- reset the phy instead of not turning the clock on and off
(which would have caused a power consumption regression)

Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 4/4] net: fec: add phy_reset_after_clk_enable() support

From: Richard Leitner <[email protected]>

Some PHYs (for example the SMSC LAN8710/LAN8720) doesn't allow turning
the refclk on and off again during operation (according to their
datasheet). Nonetheless exactly this behaviour was introduced for power
saving reasons by commit e8fcfcd5684a ("net: fec: optimize the clock management to save power").
Therefore add support for the phy_reset_after_clk_enable function from
phylib to mitigate this issue.

Generally speaking this issue is only relevant if the ref clk for the
PHY is generated by the SoC and therefore the PHY is configured to
"REF_CLK In Mode". In our specific case (PCB) this problem does occur at
about every 10th to 50th POR of an LAN8710 connected to an i.MX6SOLO
SoC. The typical symptom of this problem is a "swinging" ethernet link.
Similar issues were reported by users of the NXP forum:
https://community.nxp.com/thread/389902
https://community.nxp.com/message/309354
With this patch applied the issue didn't occur for at least a few
hundret PORs of our board.

The Microchip/SMSC LAN8710/LAN8720 PHYs need (according to their

Therefore set the PHY_RST_AFTER_CLK_EN flag for those PHYs to let the
ETH driver reset them after the REF_CLK is enabled.

From: Richard Leitner <[email protected]>

Some PHYs need a minimum time after the reset gpio was asserted and/or

optional devicetree parameters for the phy: reset-delay-us and
reset-post-delay-us.

Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 2/4] phylib: add reset after clk enable support

From: Richard Leitner <[email protected]>

Some PHYs need the refclk to be a continuous clock. Therefore they don't
allow turning it off and on again during operation. Nonetheless such a
clock switching is performed by some ETH drivers (namely FEC [1]) for
power saving reasons. An example for an affected PHY is the
SMSC/Microchip LAN8720 in "REF_CLK In Mode".

In order to provide a uniform method to overcome this problem this patch
adds a new phy_driver flag (PHY_RST_AFTER_CLK_EN) and corresponding
function phy_reset_after_clk_enable() to the phylib. These should be
used to trigger reset of the PHY after the refclk is switched on again.

I think these names could be clearer as to exactly what they mean.
Looking at existing properties with "reset-delay" there's a mixture of
definitions whether it is the assert time or the time after deassert.

So I'd call these "reset-assert-us" and "reset-deassert-us".

Ok, that would be fine with me, but are you sure that we should omit the
"-delay" term completely?

What would be the best approach to post this change (as the patchset was
already merged to net-next)? A separate patch or a v6 of the complete
patchset?
