Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] net: phy: dp83867: add w/a for packet errors seen with short cables

From: Grygorii Strashko <[email protected]>

Introduce the W/A for packet errors seen with short cables (<1m) between
two DP83867 PHYs.

The W/A recommended by DM requires FFE Equalizer Configuration tuning by
writing value 0x0E81 to DSP_FFE_CFG register (0x012C), surrounded by hard
and soft resets as follows:

write_reg(0x001F, 0x8000); //hard reset
write_reg(DSP_FFE_CFG, 0x0E81);
write_reg(0x001F, 0x4000); //soft reset

Since DP83867 PHY DM says "Changing this register to 0x0E81, will not
affect Long Cable performance.", enable the W/A by default.

Please set the tree in the Subject line to be net.
Please also add a Fixes: tag, probably for the patch which added this driver.

Maybe check the return code for errors?

I will update the subject to "RFC PATCH net" and also add the "Fixes" tag in the
v2 series.

The return value of phy_write_mmd() doesn't have to be checked since it will be
zero for the following reasons:
The dp83867 driver does not have a custom .write_mmd method. Also, the dp83867
phy does not support clause 45. Due to this, within __phy_write_mmd(), the ELSE
statement will be executed, which results in the return value being zero.

Interesting.

I would actually say __phy_write_mmd() is broken, and should be
returning what __mdiobus_write() returns.

You should assume it will get fixed, and check the return value. And
it does no harm to check the return value.

Thank you for clarifying. The reasoning behind the initial patch not checking
the return value was:
At all invocations of phy_write_mmd() in the dp83867 driver, at no place is the
return value checked, which led me to analyze why that was the case. I noticed
that it was due to the return value being guaranteed to be zero for this
particular driver.

Since the existing __phy_write_mmd() implementation is broken as pointed out by
you, I will update this patch to check the return value. Also, I will probably
add a cleanup patch as well, to fix this at all other invocations of
phy_write_mmd() in the driver.
