[PATCH net-next v3] net: phy: motorcomm: enable the reference clock for YT8521 and YT8531

From: Jiaxing Hu <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-28 04:57:39
Also in: linux-rockchip, lkml
Subsystem: ethernet phy library, motorcomm phy driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, Heiner Kallweit, Frank, Andrew Lunn, "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, in 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 v3:
- Open-code the clock enable in yt8521_probe and yt8531_probe instead of
  a helper; the block is short and self-explanatory inline (Alexey
  Charkov). No functional change, so Andrew's Reviewed-by and Gavin's
  Tested-by are carried over.

Changes in v2:
- Also enable the reference clock for the YT8521, not only the YT8531.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260719034555.3623003-1-gahing@gahingwoo.com/ (local)
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260727205602.1188008-1-gahing@gahingwoo.com/ (local)

The DTS that consumes the clock (rk3576-armsom-cm5) goes to the rockchip
tree separately; the clock is optional so this patch stands alone. Tested
on an ArmSoM CM5-IO (YT8531) and a PicoCOM RK3576 board (YT8521).
