Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/1] Add BASE-T1 PHY support

This patch adds basic support for BASE-T1 PHYs in the framework.
BASE-T1 PHYs main area of application are automotive and industrial.
BASE-T1 is standardized in IEEE 802.3, namely
- IEEE 802.3bw: 100BASE-T1
- IEEE 802.3bp 1000BASE-T1
- IEEE 802.3cg: 10BASE-T1L and 10BASE-T1S

There are no products which contain BASE-T1 and consumer type PHYs like
1000BASE-T. However, devices exist which combine 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1
PHYs with auto-negotiation.

The intention of this patch is to make use of the existing Clause 45 functions.
BASE-T1 adds some additional registers e.g. for aneg control, which follow a
similiar register layout as the existing devices. The bits which are used in
BASE-T1 specific registers are the same as in basic registers, thus the
existing functions can be resued, with get_aneg_ctrl() selecting the correct
register address.

The current version of ethtool has been prepared for 100/1000BASE-T1 and works
with this patch. 10BASE-T1 needs to be added to ethtool.

Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/1] Added BASE-T1 PHY support to PHY Subsystem

BASE-T1 is a category of Ethernet PHYs.
They use a single copper pair for transmission.
This patch add basic support for this category of PHYs.
It coveres the discovery of abilities and basic configuration.
It includes setting fixed speed and enabling auto-negotiation.
BASE-T1 devices should always Clause-45 managed.
Therefore, this patch extends phy-c45.c.
While for some functions like auto-neogtiation different registers are
used, the layout of these registers is the same for the used fields.
Thus, much of the logic of basic Clause-45 devices can be reused.

phydev->is_t1_capable

No forward declarations please. Put the code in the right order so
they are not needed.

For whatever reason I don't have the original mail in my netdev inbox (yet).

+ if (IS_100BASET1(phydev) || IS_1000BASET1(phydev))
+ ctrl = MDIO_AN_BT1_CTRL;

Code like this could be problematic once a PHY supports one of the T1 modes
AND normal modes. Then normal modes would be unusable.

I think this scenario isn't completely hypothetical. See the Aquantia
AQCS109 that supports normal modes and (proprietary) 1000Base-T2.

Maybe we need separate versions of the generic functions for T1.
Then it would be up to the PHY driver to decide when to use which
version.

Is this meant in a way that *currently* there are no PHY's combining Base-T1
with normal Base-T modes? Or are there reasons why this isn't possible in
general? I'm asking because we have PHY's combining copper and fiber, and e.g.
the mentioned Aquantia PHY that combines NBase-T with 1000Base-T2.

If Base-T1 can't be combined with other modes then at a first glance I see no
benefit in defining new registers e.g. for aneg control, and the standard ones
are unused. Why not using the standard registers? Can you shed some light on that?

Are the new registers internally shadowed to the standard location?
That's something I've seen on other PHY's: one register appears in different
places in different devices.

Why is there no such macro for 10BaseT1?

10BaseT1 doesn't need to be considered here?
And maybe it would be better to have a flag for BaseT1 at phy_device level
(based on bit MDIO_PMA_EXTABLE_BASET1?) instead of checking whether certain
T1 modes are supported. Then we would be more future-proof in case of new
T1 modes.

AFAICS 10BaseT1 has separate aneg registers (526/527).

Hi Heiner,

I do not think the Aquantia part you are describing is publicly
documented, so i cannot comment on that part.
There are multiple reasons why e.g. xBASE-T1 plus 1000BASE-T is
unlikely. First, the is no use-case known to me, where this would be
required. Second, there is no way that you can do an auto-negotiation
between the two, as these both have their own auto-neg defined (Clause
28/73 vs. Clause 98). Thirdly, if you would ever have a product with
both, I believe it would just include two full PHYs and a way to select
which flavor you want. Of course, this is the theory until proven
otherwise, but to me it is sufficient to use a single driver.

The registers are different in the fields they include. It is just that
the flags which are used by the Linux driver, like restarting auto-neg,
are at the same position.

Right, datasheet isn't publicly available. All I wanted to say with
mentioning this PHY: It's not a rare exception that a PHY combines
standard BaseT modes with "non-consumer" modes for special purposes.
One practical use case of this proprietary 1000Base-T2 mode is
re-using existing 2-pair cabling in aircrafts.

I'm with you if you say it's unlikely. However your statement in the
commit message leaves the impression that there can't be such a device.
And that's a difference.

Regarding "including two full PHYs":
This case we have already, there are PHYs combining different IP blocks,
each one supporting a specific mode (e.g. copper and fiber). There you
also have the case of different autoneg methods, clause 28 vs. clause 37.

Good to know. Your commit description doesn't mention any specific PHY.
I suppose you have PHYs you'd like to operate with the genphy_c45 driver.
Could you give an example? And ideally, is a public datasheet available?

If you want to go down this path, then i think we have to ask some more
questions. Clause 45 is a very scalable register scheme, it is not a
specific class of devices and will be extended and extended.

Currently, the phy-c45.c supports 10/100/1000/2500/5000/10000 Mbps
consumer/enterprise PHYs. This is also an implicit assumption. The
register set (e.g. on auto-neg) used for this will also only support
these modes and nothing more, as it is done scaling.

Currently not supported, but already present in IEEE 802.3:
- MultiGBASE-T (25/40 Gbps) (see e.g. MultiGBASE-T AN control 1 register)
- BASE-T1
- 10BASE-T1
- NGBASE-T1

And surely there are some on the way or already there that I am not
aware of.

To me, one architectural decision point is if you want to have generic
support for all C45 PHYs in one file, or if you want to split it by
device class. I went down the first path with my patch, as this is the
road gone also with the existing code.

If you want to split BASE-T1, i think you will need one basic C45
library (genphy_c45_pma_read_abilities() is a good example of a function
that is not specific to a device class). On the other hand,
genphy_c45_pma_setup_forced() is not a generic function at this point as
it supports only a subset of devices managed in C45.

I tend to agree with you that splitting is the best way to go in the
long run, but that also requires a split of the existing phy-c45.c into
two IMHO.

BASE-T1 seems to be based on Clause 45 (at least Clause 45 MDIO),
but it's not fully compliant with Clause 45. Taking AN link status
as an example: 45.2.7.2.7 states that link-up is signaled in bit 7.1.2.
If BASE-T1 uses a different register, then it's not fully Clause 45
compatible.
Therefore also my question for the datasheet of an actual BASE-T1 PHY,
as I would be curious whether it shadows the link-up bit from 7.513.2
to 7.1.2 to be Clause 45 compliant. Definitely reading bit 7.513.2
is nothing that belongs into a genphy_c45_ function.

The extension to genphy_c45_pma_read_abilities() looks good to me,
for the other parts I'd like to see first how real world BASE-T1 PHYs
handle it. If they shadow the T1-specific bits to the Clause 45
standard ones, we should be fine. Otherwise IMO we have to add
separate T1 functions to phylib.

Clause 45 defines e.g. bit 7.1.2 just like it defines the BASE-T1
auto-neg registers. Any bit that i have used in my patch is 100%
standardized in IEEE 802.3-2018, Clause 45. By definition, BASE-T1 PHYs
have to use the Clause 45 BASE-T1 registers, otherwise they are not IEEE
compliant.

For now, there is no such public data sheet. However, IEEE 802.3-2018 is
public. This should be the basis for a generic driver. Datasheets are
needed for the device specific drivers. If Linux cares to support
BASE-T1, it should implement a driver that works with a standard
compliant PHY and that can be done on the basis of IEEE.

There is not requirement in IEEE to shadow the BASE-T1 registers into
the "standard" ones. Thus, such an assumption should not be done for a
generic driver, as it will quite certainly not work with all devices.
Fyi, both registers are standard, just that the historically first ones
are for classic 10/100/1000/10000 PHYs and BASE-T1 registers are for the
single twisted pair PHYs.

There are PHYs combining both Base-T1 and other Base-T capabilities.
E.g. the Broadcom BCM54811 support both Base-T1, as well as 1000BASE-T
and 100BASE-TX.

Interesting. To be precise, the device supports BroadR-Reach and not 100BASE-T1 according to their product brief. Therefore I would assume that the registers also do not follow the IEEE defined Clause 45 layout. While we cannot learn much then how to handle such devices in a generic clause 45 driver, this suggests that such devices can appear.

Still, IEEE 802.3 does not really define a way that these devices would coexist, so I would assume it is pretty much two PHYs in one IC and you can chose which flavor you want. Is my assumption on that correct?

In that case, you would have to structure the drivers in a way the you have separate functions for the standalone flavors of Clause 45 managed PHYs, while making as much reuse as possible between them.
