That was on purpose. I only use the `dev_err_probe()` when the probe may
defer, which I don't expect here.
I don't mind changing if you prefer it this way.

Probably the second _relaxed() should not be. You want it guaranteed
to be written out before you do the mdelay().

So how does this play with what Heiner has been reporting recently?
What is the reset default? Who determined this value?

What do you mean by 'come up'? Not link up i assume. But maybe it will
not respond to MDIO requests?

dev_err_probe() does not apply here, because devm_kzalloc does not
return an error code. Hence it cannot be EPROBE_DEFFER, which is what
dev_err_probe() is looking for.

Sure, there is no EPROBE_DEFFER.
But, FWIIW, my reading of the documentation for dev_err_probe()
is that it's use in such cases is acceptable.
Anyway, let's pass on my suggestion.

What Heiner reported recently is related to the g12 family, not the gxl
which this driver address.
That being said, the g12 does things in a similar way - the glue
is just a bit different:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/mdio/mdio-mux-meson-g12a.c?h=v6.2-rc4#n165
> What is the reset default? Who determined this value?
It's the problem, the reset value is 0. That is why GXL does work with the
internal PHY if the bootloader has not initialized it before the kernel
comes up ... and there is no guarantee that it will.
The phy id value is arbitrary, same as the address. They match what AML
is using internally.
They have been kept to avoid making a mess if a vendor bootloader is
used with the mainline kernel, I guess.
I suppose any value could be used here, as long as it matches the value
in the PHY driver:

Yes this MDIO multiplexer is also the glue that provides power and
clocks to the internal PHY. Once the internal PHY is selected, it needs
a bit a of time before it is usuable.

Please document where these values have come from. In the future we
might need to point a finger when it all goes horribly wrong.

Some Marvell Ethernet switches with integrated PHYs have IDs with the
vendor part set to Marvell, but the lower part is 0. The date sheet
even says this is deliberate, you need to look at some other register
in the switches address space to determine what the part is. That
works O.K in the vendor crap monolithic driver, but not for Linux
which separates the drivers up. So we have to intercept the reads and
fill in the lower part. And we have no real knowledge if the PHYs are
all the same, or there are differences. So we put in the switch ID,
and the PHY driver then has an entry per switch. That gives us some
future wiggle room if we find the PHYs are actually different.
Is there any indication in the datasheets that the PHY is the exact
same one as in the g12? Are we really safe to reuse this value between
different SoCs?
I actually find it an odd feature. Does the datasheet say anything
about Why you can set the ID in software? The ID describes the
hardware, and software configuration should not be able to change the
hardware in any meaningful way.

O.K, please reword it to indicate power up, not link up.

There is zero information about the PHY in the datasheet.
The gxl and g12 don't use the same ID values.
The PHY ip is very similar but slightly different between the 2.
(see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/phy/meson-gxl.c)
My guess is the g12 as another version of the IP, with some bug fixed.
The integration (clocking scheme mostly) is also different, which is why
the mux/glue is different.

Again, zero information.
It is a bought IP (similar to the Rockchip judging by the PHY driver).
I'm not surprised the provider of the IP would make the ID
easy to configure. AML chose to keep that configurable through the glue,
instead of fixing it. This is how it is.
