[PATCH net-next v2] net: phy: motorcomm: enable the reference clock for YT8521 and YT8531

From: Jiaxing Hu <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-27 21:05:07
Also in: linux-rockchip, lkml
Subsystem: ethernet phy library, motorcomm phy driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, Heiner Kallweit, Frank, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

These PHYs need a 25 MHz reference. On boards without a local crystal
it is fed from the SoC and described as a clock on the PHY node. Get and
enable it in probe, via a small helper called from both yt8521_probe and
yt8531_probe, so the PHY is clocked before its registers are accessed.
The clock is optional, so crystal-clocked boards are unaffected.

Changes in v2:
- Factor the clock enable into ytphy_get_and_enable_refclk() and call it
  from yt8521_probe as well, so the YT8521 is covered too, not only the
  YT8531. v1 only touched yt8531_probe.
- Carried Andrew's Reviewed-by; the enable itself is unchanged, only
  moved into the helper.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260719034555.3623003-1-gahing@gahingwoo.com/ (local)

A second crystal-less RK3576 board with a YT8521 needs the same handling
(see the RK3576 GMAC 25M refout thread [1]), so v2 covers both PHYs. This
supersedes the withdrawn dwmac-rk MAC-side series. The DTS that consumes
the clock (rk3576-armsom-cm5) goes to the rockchip tree separately; the
clock is optional so this patch stands alone. The YT8531 path is tested
on an ArmSoM CM5-IO (links at 1000 Mbit/s).
