Hi Song,
I presume this is also tested.
The code look ok.

How does this work if the driver has no interrupt support? What is
the hardware setup this has been tested with?
What if we later want to add interrupt support to this driver to
support detecting changes in link state - isn't using this bit
in the interrupt enable register going to confict with that?

Hi Russell
We already know from previous patches that the Intel hardware is
broken, and does not actually deliver the interrupt which caused the
wake up. So i assume this just continues on with the same broken
hardware, but they have a different PHY connected.

Agreed. If the interrupt register is being used, i think we need this
patchset to add proper interrupt support. Can you recommend a board
they can buy off the shelf with the interrupt wired up? Or maybe Intel
can find a hardware engineer to add a patch wire to link the interrupt
output to a SoC pin that can do interrupts.

The only board I'm aware of with the 88x3310 interrupt wired is the
Macchiatobin double-shot. :)
I forget why I didn't implement interrupt support though - I probably
need to revisit that. Sure enough, looking at the code I was tinkering
with, adding interrupt support would certainly conflict with this
patch.

Hi Russell & Andrew,
This is tested on Intel Elkhart Lake (EHL) board. We are using polling mode.
Both WoL interrupt and link change interrupt are the same pin which is
routed to PMC. PMC will wake up the system when there is WoL event.

Hi Russell,
For EHL board, both WoL interrupt and link change interrupt are the same pin.
Based on your knowledge, is this common across other platforms?
Can we take set wol function as one of the ways to control the interrupts?

Is the PMC also an interrupt controller?

Other PHYs? Yes. WoL is just another interrupt, and any interrupt can
wake the system, so longer as the interrupt controller can actually wake the system.

WOl does not control the interrupt, it is an interrupt source. And you
need to service it as an interrupt. So long as your PMC is also an
interrupt controller, it should all work.

Sorry, I should not use the word "control". Actually what I am trying to said was
"can we take set_wol() as one of the ways to enable/disable link change interrupt?".
PMC is not an interrupt controller. I guess the confusion here is due to I am
using polling mode. Let me ask the question differently.
What is the conflict that will happen when interrupt support is added?
I can help to add config_intr() and handle_interrupt() callback support
If they will help to solve the conflict.

The conflict is - when interrupt support is added, the link change
interrupt will be enabled all the time the PHY is in use. This will
have the effect with your patch of making the PHY appear to have WoL
enabled, even when it hasn't been configured through a set_wol call.
Essentially, your proposal for WoL on link-change fundamentally
conflicts with proper interrupt support.

Thanks for your explanation. I understand your concern better now.
In the case of WoL hasn't been enabled through a set_wol call, the PHY will
be suspended, so we no need worry the link change interrupt will create
an undesired WoL event.
In the case of set_wol is called to disable WAKE_PHY event, we can keep
the link change interrupt enable, so that it won't affect the interrupt
support.
Since any interrupts can wake the system, as long as we handle the
future going-to-implement interrupt support properly, things should work
fine. Any other thoughts?

I think you're missing the point. In your get_wol method for this
PHY:
+ ret = phy_read_mmd(phydev, MDIO_MMD_PCS, MV_PCS_INTR_ENABLE);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ return;
+
+ if (ret & MV_PCS_INTR_ENABLE_LSC)
+ wol->wolopts |= WAKE_PHY;
If the link change interrupt is enabled because we want to use
interrupt support, the above code has the effect of reporting to
userspace that WoL is enabled, even when nothing has requested WoL
to be enabled.
This also has the effect of preventing the PHY being suspended (see
phy_suspend()) and in effect means that WoL is enabled, even though
set_wol() was not called.

Yes, you are right. I missed the effect of get_wol.
Is it needed in future to implement link change interrupt in phy driver?
Cause I dint see much phy driver implement link change interrupt.

If there is a board that has interrupt pin wired correctly from the
PHY and the interrupt controller is safe to use (i.e. it is not a
PCA953x which cannot handle interrupt storms correctly), then I think
the PHY driver should use the interrupt, instead of polling.

Any suggestion to avoid the conflict of "WoL on link change" mentioned by Russell?
Is it make sense to create a new member called wolopts under struct phy_device
to track the WoL status and return the correct status in get_wol callback?

I really think you need to look at your PMC and see if you can make it
an interrupt controller. You only need level interrupts, not edge. So
the microcontroller in the PMC could just poll the GPIO. There appears
to be a simple IPC between the host and PMC, so just extend it with a
couple of registers, interrupt state, interrupt mask, and make use of
the existing interrupt between the host and PMC.

Thanks for your suggestion. Currently, PMC is designed for platform-wide
power management and not meant to control any device specific registers.
Seem like it is not possible to make PMC an interrupt controller, but I will
continue to discuss more with my team.
