[PATCH net-next v8 0/3] w5100: restore GPIO-based link detection

From: Arthur Crepin Leblond <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-15 08:06:23
Also in: lkml, netdev

Hi,

In the previous version of the w5100 driver, the LINKLED pin could be
wired to a GPIO to detect the link status changes via an interrupt.
This only works on w5500 as it is the only one documenting its LINKLED
pin to hold the link status (on w5100 the LINKLED pin is changing with
RX/TX activity).

This series of patches is bringing back the link status detection on
w5500 using the Link Status bit of the PHY Configuration Register.
Additionally, the LINKLED pin can also be wired to detect link status
changes and read the register in the interrupt handler.

v7 -> v8:
- dt-bindings: net: wiznet,w5100: convert to DT schema
 - Add a myself in MAINTAINERS
 - Address Sashiko reviews
  - Change edge-falling to level-low
  - Clarify the spi max frequency for all devices
  - Add main interrupt description

- dt-bindings: net: wiznet,w5100: add link status interrupt
 - Remove Krzysztof Kozlowski reviewed-by tag after Sashiko review changes
  - Make the interrupts property conditional

- w5100: detect carrier state using link status bit and optional
  interrupt
 - Add myself in the MAINTAINERS file
 - Address Sashiko reviews from online bot and locally run
  - Add a mutex to synchronize the link state read and interrupt
  - Return last known carrier state (netif_carrier_ok) in
    w5500_get_link on SPI error or if the device is not present
  - Only set ops .get_link on w5500
  - Check the netif state, disable/enable the irq and re-check the
    carrier state in w5100_restart
  - Cancel the restart work on stop/suspend
  - Only set carrier state to off in w5100_stop/suspend  when a link
    irq is present
  - Warn on fwnode_irq_get errors for the link irq
  - Free the main irq and flush queues before resetting the hardware
    in w5100_remove

- Fix DT bindings errors
- Address Sashiko review
 - Read the link status register only on w5500 instead of checking
   link_irq 
 - call netif_carrier_off on w5500 link status off in open
 - enable/disable the link irq in open/stop
 - enable/disable the link irq in resume/suspend
 - handle link irq probe defer error
 - register the netdev last

Link to v4: https://patch.msgid.link/20260811-wiznet-link-gpio-v4-0-4d5f7da885a8@marmottus.net

v3 -> v4:
- Update interrupts in DT bindings
- Use directly an interrupt line instead of gpio -> irq
- Address Sashiko reviews
 - drop devm_ on request_threaded_irq to avoid use after free
 - disable/enable the link_irq in the suspend/resume
 - only call netif_carrier_on|off if the link interrupt is present

Link to v3: https://patch.msgid.link/20260806-wiznet-link-gpio-v3-0-532d4a143805@marmottus.net

v2 -> v3:
- Fix DT binding errors
- Use the Link Status bit of the PHY Configuration Register
- Use the LINKLED gpio binding for change detection only

Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260804-wiznet-link-gpio-v2-0-3b1d0c870f35@marmottus.net

v1 -> v2:
- Convert device tree binding to YAML
- Use devm_request_threaded_irq instead of request_any_context_irq
