Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 4/6] dt-bindings: net: add hisilicon,hisi-femac

From: Yang Xiwen <[email protected]>

Compared to previous txt based binding doc, the following changes are
made according to the TRM:

- Remove unmaintained Hi3516 SoC, add Hi3798MV200
- add MDIO subnode, because MDIO bus is integrated
- add ahb bus clock, phy clock and reset

Also remove "hisi-femac-v1/2" binding.

The difference between versions is unknown and not documented anywhere.
Nor is it used in driver. Remove it until it's needed in the future.

Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 6/6] net: hisi_femac: remove unused compatible strings

From: Yang Xiwen <[email protected]>

The only documented SoC Hi3516DV300 does not receive any updates from 8
years ago. With the recent driver changes, it unlikely works for this
SoC anymore. Remove the binding for this SoC.

Also it's hard to get the version number and it's unknown how the
version can be used. Remove them until it's really needed.

Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 5/6] net: hisilicon: add support for hisi_femac core on Hi3798MV200

From: Yang Xiwen <[email protected]>

Register the sub MDIO bus if it is found. Also implement the internal
PHY reset procedure as needed.

Note it's unable to put the MDIO bus node outside of MAC controller
(i.e. at the same level in the parent bus node). Because we need to
control all clocks and resets in FEMAC driver due to the phy reset
procedure. So the clocks can't be assigned to MDIO bus device, which is
an essential resource for the MDIO bus to work.

No backward compatibility is maintained since the only existing
user(Hi3516DV300) has not received any updates from HiSilicon for about
8 years already. And till today, no mainline dts for this SoC is found.
It seems unlikely that there are still existing mainline Hi3516DV300
users. The effort to maintain the old binding seems gain a little.

If you were re-designing schema, then this should be dropped. No generic
compatibles which even the author does not understand what it is.

But if you re-use existing binding, then it is a proof that previous
commit did something odd.

Drop redundant parts: "The 1st cell" and "micro seconds" and instead
describe something useful. You have here nine words out of which 7 are
redundant or not describing actual property and only two say something.
What is "reset pre-delay"? Explain this.

What's the point of growing the list? All are fully compatible according
to your match table.

Stop growing it and either express compatibility or use proper match
data, if they are not compatible.

What is happening here? Removal could be justified, but then order of
your patches is totally wrong. But that hisi-femac is a no-go or provide
proper rationale.

I don't understand exactly... In dts, we commonly have a SoC specific
compatible string first, generic compatible string the second. e.g.

compatible = "hisilicon,hi3798mv200-perictrl", "syscon", "simple-mfd".

So i think this is recommended. Or does it mean we only need them in
dts, not in the driver? The generic driver only needs a generic
compatible "hisilicon,hisi-femac" in all?

There is no generic compatible here. hi3798mv200 is soc.

It is allowed for certain cases and recommended for even fewer ones. Do
you want to say you have fully discoverable features here and you do not
need any properties? Or you want to say that all possible hardware will
have exactly the same programming interface (registers etc)?

Of course not. Take FEMAC for example. The FEMAC core on Hi3516 and
Hi3798 can programmed in the same way. They use the same
resources(resets and clocks). Though still a bit different in hardware,
basically the fifo depth etc..

Hi3516 FEMAC is not special enough to have a new compatible string, nor
do hi3798 FEMAC. Nor do i think we need those undocumented version
numbers, i.e. "hisilicon,hisi-femac-v1/2". As i observed, this driver is
generic enough to handle all the FEMAC cores i know, no matter which
version nor which SoC. This can also be concluded from the driver, the
driver defined 3 compatibles but they are all treated the same.

Should I remove all of them, and only leave a generic
"hisilicon,hisi-femac" instead?

If they have different programming interface then you cannot use generic
compatible as fallback.

No.

Use one SoC specific compatible as fallback. That's what we ask almost
every time...
