Resending this as the original RFC now conflicts with net-next. This series is the next of the three part series sorting out the PCS support in stmmac, building on part 2, which was posted yesterday: net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: further serdes reorganisation Similar patches have been posted previously. This series does away with the common SerDes PHY support, instead using a flag to indicate whether 2500Mbps mode is supported (STMMAC_FLAG_SERDES_SUPPORTS_2500M.) At this time, I have no plans to resurect the common SerDes PHY support - the generic PHY layer implementations are just too random to consider that, and I certainly do not want the extra work of fixing that. I've also changed the last patch which prints warnings when qcom-ethqos changes the PCS state - this will now indicate in a readable form whether the ANE or SGMRAL bits have changed state, rather than having to refer back to the definitions in the code or the databook. I am hoping that - subject to this working for qcom-ethqos - we can drop this last patch in the final submission, along with the dwmac_ctrl_ane() and ethqos_pcs_set_inband() functions and associated definitions. This will also mean that stmmac will finally be driving the PCS correctly from a phylink point of view. drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/common.h | 4 - .../ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac-qcom-ethqos.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac1000.h | 12 +- .../net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac1000_core.c | 11 +- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac4.h | 10 +- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac4_core.c | 10 +- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c | 8 +- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_pcs.c | 160 +++++++++++++++++++-- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_pcs.h | 29 +++- include/linux/stmmac.h | 1 + 10 files changed, 200 insertions(+), 46 deletions(-) -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up.
