Subject: [net-next PATCH] net: phy: aquantia: make mailbox interface4 lsw addr mask more specific

It seems some arch (s390) require a more specific mask for FIELD_PREP
and doesn't like using GENMASK(15, 2) for u16 values.

Fix the compilation error by adding the additional mask for the BITS
that the PHY ignore and AND the passed addr with the real mask that the
PHY will parse for the mailbox interface 4 addr to make sure extra
values are correctly removed.

Ah. Um. Pff. Erm. I'm not sure.

Endianness is not my strong suit but this code:

/* PHY expect addr in LE */
addr = (__force u32)cpu_to_le32(addr);

/* ... use (u16)(addr) */
/* ... use (u16)(addr >> 16) */

does not make sense to me.

You're operating on register values here, there is no endian.
Endian only exists when you store or load from memory. IOW, this:

addr = 0x12345678;
print((u16)addr);
print(addr >> 16);

will print the same exact thing regardless of the CPU endian.

Why did you put the byte swap in there?

the 2 addr comes from a define

#define DRAM_BASE_ADDR 0x3FFE0000
#define IRAM_BASE_ADDR 0x40000000

it wasn't clear to me if on BE these addrs gets saved differently or
not. PHY wants the addr in LE.

On testing by removing the cpu_to_le32 the error is correctly removed!

I guess on BE the addr was actually swapped and FIELD_GET was correctly
warning (and failing) as data was missing in applying the mask.

If all of this makes sense, will send a followup patch that drop the
cpu_to_le32 and also the other in the bottom that does cpu_to_be32 (to a
__swab32 as FW is LE and mailbox calculate CRC in BE)

I think so. It's the responsibility of whether underlies
phy_write_mmd() to make sure the data is put on the bus in
correct order (but that's still just within the u16 boundaries,
splitting a constant into u16 halves is not endian dependent).

Not so sure about this one, it puts the u32 on the stack, and takes
the address of it:

u32 word;

word = (__force u32)cpu_to_be32(word);
crc = crc_ccitt_false(crc, (u8 *)&word, sizeof(word));

so the endian will matter here. My guess is that this part is correct.

Ehhh this is problematic. Data comes from nvmem or filesystem, in theory
they should not be touched/converted.

nvmem_cell_read or request_firmware return pointer to u8 and it's the
firmware (that is always in LE)

If data is not converted and passed AS IS from what is read to the
allocated data, then data should be always swapped.
(this PHY is fun... it's probably BE internally but expect LE stuff in
the mailbox, as it does emit BE CRC.)

Any idea where I can verify if nvmem_cell_read or request_firmware makes
any kind of endianess conversion on the data it does read?

Actually I'm wrong about this, you're reading and writing the data,
so endian conversion happens twice. Canceling itself out.

The underlying storage should be byte-accessible, so neither interface
should change anything about the endian.

You should probably switch get_unaligned_le32() for reading it into
the word variable, tho.

I don't need to read it, I need to pass the data directly from what is
read to mailbox so using get_unaligned_le32 would actually make a
conversion. Anyway thanks a lot for putting some extra words and make me
check this further! Will send a v2 tomorrow!

MDIO bus accesses via the MDIO bus accessors are expected to produce
the correct value in CPU order no matter what endian the host platform
is. So if the BMCR contains the value 0x1234, then reading and then
printing this register is expected to produce 0x1234 irrespective of
the host CPU architecture.

We do have 32-bit values split across two registers in clause 45 PHYs,
namely the MMD present register pair. Another example is the PHY ID.
In both cases we read the registers and apply the appropriate shift.
See get_phy_c45_ids() and get_phy_c22_id(). Note that these, again,
have to work independent of the CPU architecture.
