Hi Dave,

please do not apply this series until it got a Tested-by from Emiliano.


Hi Emiliano,

you reported [0] that you couldn't get dwmac-meson8b to work on your
Odroid-C1. With your findings (register dumps, clk_summary output, etc.)
I think I was able to find a fix: it consists of two patches (which you
find in this series)

Unfortunately I don't have any Meson8b boards with RGMII PHY so I could
only partially test this (I could only check if the clocks were
calculated correctly when using a dummy 500002394Hz input clock instead
of MPLL2).

Could you please give this series a try and let me know about the
results?
You obviously still need your two "ARM: dts: meson8b" patches which
- add the amlogic,meson8b-dwmac" compatible to meson8b.dtsi
- enable Ethernet on the Odroid-C1

When testing on Meson8b this also needs a fix for the MPLL clock driver:
"clk: meson: mpll: use 64-bit maths in params_from_rate", see:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10131677/


I have tested this myself on a Khadas VIM (GXL SoC, internal RMII PHY)
and a Khadas VIM2 (GXM SoC, external RGMII PHY). Both are still working
fine (so let's hope that this also fixes your Meson8b issue :)).


changes since v1 at [1]:
- changed the subject of the cover-letter to indicate that this is all
  about the RGMII clock
- added PATCH #1 which ensures that we don't unnecessarily change the
  parent clocks in RMII mode (and also makes the code easier to
  understand)
- changed subject of PATCH #2 (formerly PATCH #1) to state that this
  is about the RGMII clock
- added Jerome's Reviewed-by to PATCH #2 (formerly PATCH #1)
- replaced PATCH #3 (formerly PATCH #2) with one that sets
  CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT on the mux and thus re-configures the MPLL2 clock
  on Meson8b correctly

changes since v2 at [2]:
- added PATCH #2 to make the following patch easier
- Emiliano reported that there's currently another bug in the
  dwmac-meson8b driver which prevents it from working with RGMII PHYs on
  Meson8b: bit 10 of the PRG_ETH0 register is configures a clock gate
  (instead of a divide by 5 or divide by 10 clock divider). This has not
  been visible on GXBB and later due to the input clock which always led
  to a selection of "divide by 10" (which is done internally in the IP
  block, but the bit actually means "enable RGMII clock output").
  PATCH #3 was added to address this issue.
- the commit message of PATCH #4 and #5 (formerly PATCH #2 and #3) were
  updated and the patch itself rebased because the m25_div clock was
  removed with the new PATCH #3 (so some of the statements were not
  valid anymore)
Here is the clk_summary relative to ethernet on Odroid-C1+
with this new series applied:

The ethernet prg0 register is set to 0x74A1 which should be correct with
respect to the information contained in the S805 SoC manual.
Actually, the ethernet is not yet fully functional.
Trying to ping the board, I can see ARP request from host to board using
tcpdump. However, the host can't see any response.
great - we're getting closer!
quoted
Following the U-Boot value for prg0 register, which is 0x7d21, I also
tried to set bit 11. As expected, this did not have any influence.
it *may* be something outside the PRG_ETH0 register than
to confirm that: could you temporarily revert the last patch from this
series ("net: stmmac: dwmac-meson8b: propagate rate changes to the
parent clock")? this way MPLL2 will stay at ~500MHz and PRG_ETH0
should be identical to what u-boot sets (apart from bit 11, but that
is only relevant in RMII mode according to the datasheet)
quoted
Another thing that we should check is the "Ethernet Memory PD" (see S805
manual - sec. 5.4) register which bits 3-2 enable/disable ethernet
normal operation. However, those bits are already cleared by U-Boot.
if the peripheral registers itself are configured correctly it's
typically one of these issues:
- gate clock not being enabled (can you confirm that you hav the
"stmmaceth" with CLKID_ETH in the ethmac node?)
- incorrect pinmux settings (as a hack I would remove all ethernet
pinctrl properties/nodes from meson8b.dtsi and meson8b-odroidc1.dts.
before booting the mainline kernel you'll need to use Ethernet from
within u-boot once)
- incorrect TX delay (amlogic,tx-delay-ns = <2> should be defined in
meson8b-odroidc1.dts, but the driver should auto-select that value if
it's missing)
- IP block being in some undefined state which can be brought back
into a working state by adding the reset line (RESET_ETHERNET)
- Ethernet PHY being in some undefined state  can be brought back into
a working state by adding the reset line (GPIOH_4, see
meson-gxbb-odroidc2.dts how to use that)
- I have not seen that the power-domains ("Ethernet Memory PD") were a
problem yet, but you already checked that
and I forgot the "eee-broken-1000t;" property on the PHY! have a look
at meson-gxbb-odroidc2.dts - I would assume that the ethmac node in
your meson8b-odroidc1.dts looks almost identical (no interrupt
configuration inside the PHY node, different reset-GPIO)
maybe you can share your current .dts patch and a boot-log so others
can have a look as well?

Thank you for the support.
thank you for your patience as well, most people would have given up by now
