There is a limitation in TI DP83867 PHY device where SGMII AN is only
triggered once after the device is booted up. Even after the PHY TPI is
down and up again, SGMII AN is not triggered and hence no new in-band
message from PHY to MAC side SGMII.
This could cause an issue during power up, when PHY is up prior to MAC.
At this condition, once MAC side SGMII is up, MAC side SGMII wouldn`t
receive new in-band message from TI PHY with correct link status, speed
and duplex info.
As suggested by TI, implemented a SW solution here to retrigger SGMII
Auto-Neg whenever there is a link change.

Thanks for the quick response.
Yes, you are right.
Let me add the Fixes tag and Cc <[email protected]> in v2 patch.
Thanks,

Thanks, sounds like this bug has always been in the driver so we should
add:
Fixes: 2a10154abcb7 ("net: phy: dp83867: Add TI dp83867 phy")
Is that right? Getting a workaround like this into stable eventually
seems like a good idea so Fixes tag will help.
