Subject: [PATCH] net: mdio: force deassert MDIO reset signal

When the reset gpio is defined within the node of the device tree
describing the PHY, the reset is initialized and managed only after
calling the fwnode_mdiobus_phy_device_register function.
However, before calling it, the MDIO communication is checked by the
get_phy_device function.
When this happen and the reset GPIO was somehow previously set down,
the get_phy_device function fails, preventing the PHY detection.
These changes force the deassert of the MDIO reset signal before
checking the MDIO channel.
The PHY may require a minimum deassert time before being responsive:
use a reasonable sleep time after forcing the deassert of the MDIO
reset signal.
Once done, free the gpio descriptor to allow managing it later.

This has been discussed before. The problem is, it is not just a reset
GPIO. There could also be a clock which needs turning on, a regulator,
and/or a linux reset controller. And what order do you turn these on?

The conclusions of the discussion is you assume the device cannot be
found by enumeration, and you put the ID in the compatible. That is
enough to get the driver to load, and the driver can then turn
everything on in the correct order, with the correct delays, etc.

I think there has been some work on generic power sequencing. I've not
being following it, so i've no idea how far it has got. If that could
be used to solve this problem for all the possible controls of a PHY,
i would be open for such patches.

Can you provide any reference to this discussion?
From our investigation, the MDIO communication is checked before managing
the "reset" gpio .
This behaviour is generally not visible, but easily reproducible with all NXP
platforms with dual fec (iMX28, iMX6UL, iMX7, iMX8QM, iMX8QXP)
where the MDIO bus is owned by the 1st interface but shared with the 2nd.
When the 1st interface is probed, this causes the probe of the MDIO bus
when the 2nd interface is not yet set up.
Here a reference configuration
https://github.com/varigit/linux-imx/blob/5.15-2.0.x-imx_var01/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8qm-var-spear.dtsi#L168-L219
Without this patch, the above settings can fail simply forcing the reset GPIOs
to zero in u-boot.
Please let me know if further details are needed.

This sounds like a different issue.

We need to split the problem up into two.

1) Does probing the MDIO bus find both PHYs?

2) Do the MACs get linked to the PHYs.

If the reset is asserted at the point the MDIO bus is probed, you
probably don't find the PHY because it does not respond to register
reads. Your patch probably ensures it is out of reset so it is
enumerated.

For fec1, if the PHY is found during probe, connecting to the PHY will
work without issues. However, fec2 can potentially have ordering
issues. Has the MDIO bus finished being probed by the time fec2 looks
for it? If it is not there you want to return -EPROBE_DEFERED so that
the driver code will try again later.

There have been patches to do with ordering recently, but they have
been more to do with suspend/resume. So please make sure you are
testing net-next, if ordering is your real problem. You also appear to
be missing a lot of stable patches, so please bring you kernel up to
date on the 5.15 branch, you are way out of date.

You are perfectly right: this patch fixes only the 1st problem.
For the 2nd problem, I've already sent a dedicated patch:

I've been running into this same problem again and again over the past
years.

Specifying the ID as part of the compatible string works for clause 22
PHYs, but for clause 45 PHYs it does not work. The code always wants to
read the ID from the PHY itself. But I do not understand things well
enough to tell whether that's a fundamental restriction of C45 or just
our implementation and the implementation can be changed to fix it.

Do you have some thoughts on this?

IMHO, since the framework allows defining the reset GPIO, it does not sound
reasonable to manage it only after checking if the PHY can communicate:
if the reset is asserted, the PHY cannot communicate at all.
This patch just ensures that, if the reset GPIO is defined, it's not asserted
while checking the communication.

I fully agree with you and I think this is the right approach, cause it
is required to make systems work. But I've seen two attempts in the past
that did the very same thing and they always got rejected. I can't find
the patches anymore, but I think one was maybe 2 years ago.

Rejection is always a chance ;)
As long I can understand the reasons, I can at least try improving this patch.

Do you have more details about what goes wrong? Which PHY driver is
it? What compatibles do you put into DT for the PHY?

To some extent, the ID is only used to find the driver. A C45 device
has a lot of ID register, and all of them are used by phy_bus_match()
to see if a driver matches. So you need to be careful which ID you
pick, it needs to match the driver.

It is the driver which decides to use C22 or C45 to talk to the PHY.
However, we do have:

static int phy_probe(struct device *dev)
{
...
else if (phydev->is_c45)
err = genphy_c45_pma_read_abilities(phydev);
else
err = genphy_read_abilities(phydev);

so it could be a C45 PHY probed using an ID does not have
phydev->is_c45 set, and so it looks in the wrong place for the
capabilities. Make sure you also have the compatible
"ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45" which i think should cause is_c45 to be
set.

There is no fundamental restriction that i know of here, it probably
just needs somebody to debug it and find where it goes wrong.

Ah!

int fwnode_mdiobus_register_phy(struct mii_bus *bus,
struct fwnode_handle *child, u32 addr)
{
...
rc = fwnode_property_match_string(child, "compatible",
"ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45");
if (rc >= 0)
is_c45 = true;

if (is_c45 || fwnode_get_phy_id(child, &phy_id))
phy = get_phy_device(bus, addr, is_c45);
else
phy = phy_device_create(bus, addr, phy_id, 0, NULL);


So compatible "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45" results in is_c45 being set
true. The if (is_c45 || is then true, so it does not need to call
fwnode_get_phy_id(child, &phy_id) so ignores whatever ID is in DT and
asks the PHY.

Try this, totally untested:

The problem is, you are only solving 1/4 of the problem. What about
the clock the PHY needs? And the regulator, and the linux reset
controller? And what order to do enable these, and how long do you
wait between each one?

And why are you solving this purely for Ethernet PHYs when the same
problem probably affects other sorts of devices which have reset
GPIOs, regulators and clocks? It looks like MMC/SDIO devices have a
similar problem.

https://lwn.net/Articles/867740/

As i said, i've not been following this work. Has it got anywhere? Can
ethernet PHYs use it?

I think part of the problem is that for C45 there are a few other fields
that get populated by the ID detection, such as devices_in_package and
mmds_present. Is this something we can do after running the PHY drivers
probe function? Or is it too late at that point?

We use both AR8033 and ADIN1300: these are 10/100/1000 PHYs.
They are both probed after the MDIO bus, but skipped if the reset was
asserted while probing the MDIO bus.
However, for iMX6UL and iMX7 we use C22, not C45.

Unfortunately the above doesn't change the condition: this problem is not C45 specific.
The call fwnode_get_phy_id just parses the device tree and always passes.
This is a sample device tree

Interesting point of view: I was thinking about solving one of 4 problems ;)
This problem affects all the platforms using the reset GPIO without
ensuring that either u-boot or the HW put a pull-up on it.
In our test, the problem is reproducible simply setting the reset to 0 from
u-boot and then use the GPIO reset as designed in the MDIO framework.
Is this approach?reasonable or a comprehensive?solution is expected to
cover all additional HW actors (clocks, regulators, ...) ?>

I'm not that familiar with the article's implications, but it sounds like a
partial redesign of the framework is needed.
I'm not sure this is the real point.
Let's refer to I2C/SPI/USB busses, the sequence is something like
- probe and setup the bus
- once the bus is up & running, start probing the connected slaves
Apparently, in the MDIO framework there's an excessive coupling
between the MDIO bus and the PHYs.
I can't really understand why the MDIO bus must check the PHY presence.
Other busses try the communication only while probing the slaves,
never before.

The config file used to build this kernel disables CONFIG_GPIOLIB.
Is this intentional ?
If yes, I suppose the patch should fix the code here
https://github.com/intel-lab-lkp/linux/blob/3f08f04af6947d4fce17b11443001c4e386ca66e/include/linux/gpio/driver.h#L761-L798
with something like
#ifdef CONFIG_GPIOLIB
...
struct gpio_desc *gpiochip_request_own_desc(struct gpio_chip *gc,
unsigned int hwnum,
const char *label,
enum gpio_lookup_flags lflags,
enum gpiod_flags dflags);
void gpiochip_free_own_desc(struct gpio_desc *desc);
#else
...
static inline struct gpio_desc *gpiochip_request_own_desc(struct gpio_chip *gc,
unsigned int hwnum,
const char *label,
enum gpio_lookup_flags lflags,
enum gpiod_flags dflags)
{
/* GPIO can never have been requested */
WARN_ON(1);
return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV);
}
static inline void gpiochip_free_own_desc(struct gpio_desc *desc)
{
WARN_ON(1);
}
#endif /* CONFIG_GPIOLIB */
Do you agree ?

Unfortunately the above doesn't change the condition: this problem
is not C45 specific.
The call fwnode_get_phy_id just parses the device tree and always
passes.
This is a sample device tree

All configurations should build - and the build bot tries random
configurations. Your job is to fix the errors / warnings that it
finds as a result of your patch and submit fixes where appropriate.
Don't expect the build bot to provide any guidance or answer questions.

That is not true.

Any bus that relies on hardware identification to bind drivers reads
the identifying information prior to probing. For example, PCI, USB,
AMBA to name a few. AMBA didn't used to have this problem, but does
now - but at least under AMBA there's a bit more standardisation to
what needs to be done. With ethernet PHYs, what's needed is highly
platform specific.

As i hinted, it needs somebody to actually debug this and figure out
why it does not work.

I think what i did above is part of the solution. You need to actually
read the ID from the DT, which if you never call fwnode_get_phy_id()
you never do.

You then need to look at phy_bus_match() and probably remove the

return 0;
} else {

so that C22 style ID matching is performed if matching via
c45_ids.device_ids fails.

I never said it did. Please read the actual emails, then you would of

Sorry, I've should have been more clear. I did try your proposed change
a while ago. The problem why it does not work is that there are other
fields in the phy data structure that get initialized when reading the
IDs for C45. Such as which MMD addresses are valid.

So lets take this one step at a time.

Does this change at least get the driver loaded?

There is some code in phy-c45.c which needs
phydev->c45_ids.mmds_present. So maybe after the driver has probed,
and the device should be accessible, we need to call get_phy_c45_ids()
to fill in the missing IDs?

Lots of small incremental 'improvements' sometimes get you into a real
mess because you loose track of the big picture. And i do think we are
now in a mess. But i also think we have a better understanding of the
problem space. We know there can be arbitrate number of resources
which need to be enabled before you can enumerate the bus. We need a
generic solution to that problem. And Linux is good at solving a
problem once and reusing it other places. So the generic solution
should be applicable to other bus types.

We also have a well understood workaround, put the IDs in DT. So as
far as i'm concerned we don't need to add more incremental
'improvements', we can wait for somebody to put in the effort to solve
this properly with generic code.

So i don't want to merge this change. Sorry.
