As I've mentioned in the past, on NXP switches (felix/seville), there
was a different justification. There, the internal MDIO bus is used to
access the SGMII PCS, not any internal PHY as in the ocelot-ext case.
As opposed to the 'phy-handle' that describes the relationship between a
MAC and its (internal) PHY, no such equivalent 'pcs-handle' property
exists in a standardized form. So I wanted to avoid a dependency on OF
where the drivers would not learn any actual information from it.

It is also possible to have a non-OF based connection to the internal
PHY, but that has some limitations, because DSA has a lot of legacy in
this area. 'Non OF-based' means that there is a port which lacks both
'phy-handle' and 'fixed-link'. We have said that a user port with such
an OF node should be interpreted as having an internal PHY located on
the ds->slave_mii_bus at a PHY address equal to the port index.
Whereas the same conditions (no 'phy-handle', no 'fixed-link') on a CPU
port mean that the port is a fixed-link that operates at the largest
supported link speed.

Since you have a PHY on the CPU port, I'd tend to avoid any ambiguity
and explicitly specify the 'phy-handle', 'fixed-link' properties in the
device tree.

What I'm not completely sure about is whether you really have 2 MDIO
buses. I don't have a VSC7512, and I haven't checked the datasheet
(traveling right now) but this would be surprising to me.
Anyway, if you do, then at least try to match the $nodename pattern from
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/mdio.yaml. I don't think "mdio0"
matches "^mdio(@.*)?".

Please interpret this in context. Your ocelot_ext_reset() function calls
of_mdiobus_register(), then does other work which may fail, then returns
that error code while leaving the MDIO bus dangling. When I said "you
need to handle errors" I meant "you need to unwind whatever work is done
in the function in the case of an error". If you are going to remove the
of_mdiobus_register(), there is probably not much left.

The remove method is called when you unbind the driver from the
device. The shutdown method is called when you reboot. The latter can be
leaky w.r.t. memory allocation.

My request here was to provide a shutdown method implementation, and
hook it in the same way as other DSA drivers do.

I see. And there was a comment a while back... I believe it was
Alexandre suggested there was some of consideration in the design to
support the non-OF-based cases. I hope I'm getting a better idea of the
big picture... one piece at a time.

Yes, you suggested this early on. Thank you for guiding me down the
right path.

Safe travels!

I was really surprised about the two MDIO buses as well. My coworker
pointed this out to me right before I decided to start looking into the
external phys and probably saved me a week of datasheet shuffling / scope
probing. Especially since the MDIO bus 2 addresses are pin-strapped to
start at 4, seemingly to not overlap the internal MDIO addresses 0-3.

And the two MDIO buses also exist in
arch/mips/boot/dts/mscc/ocelot.dtsi, so I know I'm not crazy.

I'll update the node names in my tree per your suggestion. I figured
there'd be no desire for me sharing a .dtsi for my boot-pin-modified dev
board configuration. Maybe I'm wrong, and sharing the relevant portions
in cover letters is not the right thing to do.

Thanks for explaining this. Understood.

Interesting concept. Makes sense though. Thanks again for explaining!
