Subject: [PATCH V3 net-next 0/4] net: phy: add dt property for realtek phy

Add dt property for realtek phy.

---
ChangeLogs:
V1->V2:
* store the desired PHYCR1/2 register value in "priv" rather than
using "quirks", per Russell King suggestion, as well as can
cover the bootloader setting.
* change the behavior of ALDPS mode, default is disabled, add dt
property for users to enable it.
* fix dt binding yaml build issues.
V2->V3:
* update the commit title
net: phy: realtek: add dt property to disable ALDPS mode ->
net: phy: realtek: add dt property to enable ALDPS mode

Subject: [PATCH V3 net-next 3/4] net: phy: realtek: add dt property to enable ALDPS mode

If enable Advance Link Down Power Saving (ALDPS) mode, it will change
crystal/clock behavior, which cause RXC clock stop for dozens to hundreds
of miliseconds. This is comfirmed by Realtek engineer. For some MACs, it
needs RXC clock to support RX logic, after this patch, PHY can generate
continuous RXC clock during auto-negotiation.

ALDPS default is disabled after hardware reset, it's more reasonable to
add a property to enable this feature, since ALDPS would introduce side effect.
This patch adds dt property "realtek,aldps-enable" to enable ALDPS mode
per users' requirement.

Jisheng Zhang enables this feature, changes the default behavior. Since
mine patch breaks the rule that new implementation should not break
existing design, so Cc'ed let him know to see if it can be accepted.

Subject: [PATCH V3 net-next 2/4] net: phy: realtek: add dt property to disable CLKOUT clock

CLKOUT is enabled by default after PHY hardware reset, this patch adds
"realtek,clkout-disable" property for user to disable CLKOUT clock
to save PHY power.

Per RTL8211F guide, a PHY reset should be issued after setting these
bits in PHYCR2 register. After this patch, CLKOUT clock output to be
disabled.

Subject: [PATCH V3 net-next 4/4] net: phy: realtek: add delay to fix RXC generation issue

PHY will delay about 11.5ms to generate RXC clock when switching from
power down to normal operation. Read/write registers would also cause RXC
become unstable and stop for a while during this process. Realtek engineer
suggests 15ms or more delay can workaround this issue.

The intention of this is to take bootloader into account. Such as uboot configure the PHY before.

I believe your intention is

priv->phycr1 &= ~(RTL8211F_ALDPS_PLL_OFF | RTL8211F_ALDPS_ENABLE | RTL8211F_ALDPS_XTAL_OFF);
However, this is not necessary. See below.

The last param "set" of phy_modify_paged_changed() means *bit mask of bits to set*
If we don't want to enable ALDPS, 0 is enough.

Even if uboot configured the PHY before linux, I believe phy_modify_paged_changed()
can clear ALDPS bits w/o above 5 LoCs.

Aha, I see you want to keep the ALDPS bits(maybe configured by prelinux env) untouched.
If ALDPS has been enabled by prelinux env, even there's no "realtek,aldps-enable"
in DT, the ALDPS may be keep enabled in linux. Thus the ALDPS behavior rely on
the prelinux env. I'm not sure whether this is correct or not.

IMHO, the "realtek,aldps-enable" is a "yes" or "no" bool. If it's set, ALDPS
will be enabled in linux; If it's no, ALDPS will be disabled in linux. We
should not rely on prelinux env.

No, mine intention is to read back this three bits what the register contained.

The logic is:
1) read back these three bits from the register.
2) if linux set "realtek,aldps-enable", assert these three bit; if not, keep these three bits read before.
3) call phy_modify_paged_changed() to configure, "mask" parameter to clear these three bits first, "set" parameter to assert these three bits per the result of step 2.

So, if step 1 read back the value is that these three bits are asserted, then in step 3, it will first clear these three bits and assert these three bits again. The result is ALDPS is enabled even without " realtek,aldps-enable " in DT.

You can refer to below V1 comments, we may not take enough cases into account, others may care about boot loader.

Anyway, keep the original value in registers should not have side effects. Thanks for your reviewing, and I saw this patch set has been
accepted, if you want to improve this code, I am happy to review and test your patch.

If you look at V1 of this patch, you will see i commented that maybe
it needs to be a tristate, not a boolean. Disable it, enable it, leave
it as is. If we do need the third state, we can add it latter.

There is something to be said for not relying on the bootloader. But
the hardware default appears to be ALDPS enabled. So this case seems
reasonably safe.
