A new revision of the series which incorporates changes that Marek suggested. Specifically, the changes are: 1. Patch 2 - use the phylink_get_caps method in mv88e6xxx to get the default interface rather than re-using port_max_speed_mode() 2. Patch 4 - if no default interface is provided, use the supported interface mask to search for the first interface that gives the fastest speed. 3. Patch 5 - now also removes the port_max_speed_mode() methodThis was tested with bcm_sf2.c and b53_srab.b and did not cause regressions, however we do have a 'fixed-link' property for the CPU port (always have had one), so there was no regression expected.What about arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm47189-tenda-ac9.dts?You found one of the devices that I do not have access to and did not test, thanks. We do expect to run the port at 2GBits/sec on these devices however there is no "official" way to advertise that a port can run at 2Gbits/sec, as this is not even a "sanctioned" speed. I do have a similar device however, so let me run some more tests, we won't see a regression however since we do not use the NATP accelerator which would be the reason to run the port at 2Gbits/sec.
I will try this change on some devices with the lantiq gswip driver at the weekend. On the SoC supported by the lantiq gswip driver the switch is integrated in the SoC and there is a internal link with more than 1GBit/s connecting the switch to the rest of the system. I think it is also around 2GBit/s. We can not configure the interface speed or many other interface settings for the link between the switch and the CPU. How should the device tree ideally look for this setup? Hauke
