Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: phy: qca807x: move interface mode check to .config_init_once

Currently, we are checking whether the PHY package mode matches the
individual PHY interface modes at PHY package probe time, but at that time
we only know the PHY package mode and not the individual PHY interface
modes as of_get_phy_mode() that populates it will only get called once the
netdev to which PHY-s are attached to is being probed and thus this check
will always fail and return -EINVAL.

So, lets move this check to .config_init_once as at that point individual
PHY interface modes should be populated.

Just for my own understanding, not directly about this patch...

priv->package_mode is about PSGMII vs QSGMII for one of the SERDES
interfaces? We expect the individual PHYs sharing that interface to
also indicate PSGMII or QSGMII?

But what about the other SERDES, which can be connected to an SFP
cage. You would normally set that to SGMII, or 1000BaseX. When an SFP
module is inserted, the correct interface mode is then determined from
the contests of the EEPROM and the PCS needs to be reconfigured. So
i'm just wondering how this check works in this situation?

Yes, that is the idea, all of the individual PHY-s in the package
should be indicating
the same PHY interface mode.

I just went to retest SFP support and it works as intended, as soon as the SFP
is inserted, PHY will get reconfigured to "combo" mode so that fifth PHY can
support both fiber (100Base-FX or 1000Base-X) or regular copper connections.

So, the check will not interfere with SFP support.

So for the port with the SFP you also have phy-mode of PSGMII or
QSGMII? That then gets changed when the SFP is hot plugged?

Yes, that is correct and when SFP is plugged in it will be reconfigured
by the driver into combo mode as that port can actually be used for fiber and
copper at the same time by changing the priority.

Hi Andrew, just to make sure this doesn't get confused.

There is a HW limitation here and it's described in Documentation:

- In QSGMII mode the SFP Cage can't be connected or mounted physically
as in this mode only 5 copper port can be connected, it would go
against the HW design of the chip. In this configuration the first 4
port are qsgmii and the 5th port is sgmii. (we enforce qsgmii on all
ports out of simplicity to make sure we have a sane configuration in
DT)

- In PSGMII mode the 5th port is always a combo port that can either be
a copper port or a fiber port (with SFP cage). To set the 5th port to
fiber mode, the mode has to be switched but the other 4 port are
always copper.
Also it's ok to set the initial PSGMII mode to 5 copper port as it
will be changed as soon as a SFP cage is connected. (can't happen to
have a device with both a copper port and a SFP cage connected to the
5th port, it's one or the other. Again it would go against the HW
design.

Hope it's clear now why the check was introduced and the HW limitation
of it as with the previous message one might think the 5th port is
totally separated and can go to his own mode (PSGMII or QSGMII)

Thanks for the explanation

I'm more used to it being like:

&eth2 {
/* ethernet@34000 */
bm,pool-long = <3>;
bm,pool-short = <1>;
buffer-manager = <&bm>;
managed = "in-band-status";
phys = <&comphy5 1>;
phy-mode = "sgmii";
sfp = <&sfp0>;
status = "okay";
};

Here phy-mode is set to one of the modes the SFP will use, either
sgmii or 1000baseX. But i don't think it matters what value is used.
