[PATCH net] net: dpaa: always set a valid mode I/F mode

From: Michael Walle <mwalle@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-07-06 12:10:21
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Before converting to the phylink interface, the init function would have
set the correct mode in the maccfg2. After converting, init will just
set 0 as the mode. According to the "QorIQ Data Path Acceleration
Architecture (DPAA) Reference Manual", this is a reserved value. In
fact, this will prevent the PCS to establish a link to a connected SGMII
PHY. In turn, mac_link_up() is never called. Fix it by setting a
non-reserved mode; mac_link_up() will then set the correct mode later.

Fixes: 5d93cfcf7360 ("net: dpaa: Convert to phylink")

FWIW, I've tested this with a Marvell 88E1112 PHY.
