The decision is based on the presence of the "fixed-link" node and on a will of the driver's authors. This caused a regression recently, when mvneta driver suddenly started to use the in-band status for auto-negotiation on fixed links. It appears the auto-negotiation may not work when expected by the MAC driver. Sebastien Rannou explains: << Yes, I confirm that my HW does not generate an in-band status. AFAIK, it's a PHY that aggregates 4xSGMIIs to 1xQSGMII ; the MAC side of the PHY (with inband status) is connected to the switch through QSGMII, and in this context we are on the media side of the PHY. >> https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/10/206 This patch introduces the new string property 'managed' that allows the user to set the management type explicitly. The supported values are: "auto" - default. Uses either MDIO or nothing, depending on the presence of the fixed-link node "in-band-status" - use in-band status Signed-off-by: Stas Sergeev CC: Rob Herring CC: Pawel Moll CC: Mark Rutland CC: Ian Campbell CC: Kumar Gala CC: Florian Fainelli CC: Grant Likely CC: devicetree@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org CC: netdev@vger.kernel.org --- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt | 4 ++++ drivers/of/of_mdio.c | 19 +++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt index 3fc3605..cb115a3 100644 --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt @@ -19,7 +19,11 @@ The following properties are common to the Ethernet controllers: - phy: the same as "phy-handle" property, not recommended for new bindings. - phy-device: the same as "phy-handle" property, not recommended for new bindings. +- managed: string, specifies the PHY management type.
