As per 802.3bz, if bit 14 of (1.11) "PMA Extended Abilities" indicates whether or not we should read register (1.21) "2.52/5G PMA Extended Abilities", which contains information on the support of 2.5GBASET and 5GBASET. After testing on several variants of PHYS of this family, it appears that bit 14 in (1.11) isn't always set when it should be. PHYs 88X3310 (on MacchiatoBin) and 88E2010 do support 2.5G and 5GBASET, but don't have 1.11.14 set. Their register 1.21 is filled with the correct values, indicating 2.5G and 5G support. PHYs 88X2110 do have their 1.11.14 bit set, as it should.Hi Maxime Is there anything about this in any Errata?I haven't seen any Errata on that unfortunately. I also thought about reading (1.4) "PMA/PMD Speed Ability", but the 2.5G and 5G speeds are also reported as not being supported on the 88X3310.
It's entirely possible that the 3310 switches to different hardware blocks for 2.5G and 5G speeds, and reading _just_ the 1.4 register is not sufficient. The 88x3310 is multiple PHY devices in one package, with a CPU that manages the routing between each individual device. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 12.1Mbps down 622kbps up According to speedtest.net: 11.9Mbps down 500kbps up _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
