Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ARM: dts: ls1021a-tsn: Use interrupts for the SGMII PHYs

From: Vladimir Oltean <[email protected]>

On the LS1021A-TSN board, the 2 Atheros AR8031 PHYs for eth0 and eth1
have interrupt lines connected to the shared IRQ2_B LS1021A pin.

Switching to interrupts offloads the PHY library from the task of
polling the MDIO status and AN registers (1, 4, 5) every second.

Unfortunately, the BCM5464R quad PHY connected to the switch does not
appear to have an interrupt line routed to the SoC.

+netdev and Andrew for this patch, since the interrupt polarity caught
his attention in v1.

Certainly, the comments and the interrupt specifier do not match.
Which one is true?

The interrupt specifier certainly works. So that points to an issue
with the description. What do you mean, exactly? Does "active low"
mean "level-triggered"? How would you have described this?

I would expect IRQ_TYPE_ACTIVE_LOW, or whatever it is called. Since
this is a shared interrupt, going on the edge i think opens up a race
condition and interrupts can be missed.

Active Low definitely implies level triggered. And if that's how it
is described in the TRM, than the interrupt specifier is wrong, and
just *seem to work* because the level goes back to high between two
interrupts.

Also, shared *edge* interrupts do not work, full stop. So I'm pretty
convinced that what you have here is just wrong.

Ok, I've tested both interrupts with IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW and they still
work. I'll let Rasmus re-send if there is no trouble with the dtsi
patch. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for teaching me something new.
