Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider: Critical: 0 · High: 0 · Medium: 1 · Low: 0 - [Medium] Commit message mischaracterizes the change as an extraction and omits the new register programming it introduces. -- r8152: support rtl_fc_pause_pkt_en() This moves the flow control programming out of r8156b_init() into a new helper rtl_fc_pause_pkt_en(), and calls it from r8156_init(), r8156b_init() and rtl8157_enable(). The helper switches on tp->version and, for RTL8157 and RTL8159, programs a new pause limit register based on the link speed.

[Severity: Medium]
Is the changelog description of "Extract it as rtl_fc_pause_pkt_en()"
accurate for the RTL_VER_10/RTL_VER_11 and RTL_VER_16/RTL_VER_17 arms of
rtl_fc_pause_pkt_en()? The three arms are not the same sequence that was
inline in r8156b_init().
For RTL_VER_10/RTL_VER_11 the helper programs:
ocp_write_word(tp, MCU_TYPE_USB, USB_FC_TIMER,
CTRL_TIMER_EN | (1000 / 8));
ocp_word_set_bits(tp, MCU_TYPE_USB, USB_FW_CTRL,
FLOW_CTRL_PATCH_OPT);
ocp_word_set_bits(tp, MCU_TYPE_USB, USB_FW_TASK, FC_PATCH_TASK);
At the series baseline the flow control block in r8156_init() was gated as:
if (tp->version >= RTL_VER_12 && tp->version <= RTL_VER_15) {
ocp_word_clr_bits(tp, MCU_TYPE_PLA, PLA_RCR, SLOT_EN);
ocp_word_set_bits(tp, MCU_TYPE_PLA, PLA_CPCR, FLOW_CTRL_EN);
...
}
so RTL_VER_10/RTL_VER_11 received no flow control programming, and
FLOW_CTRL_PATCH_OPT was only set from the RTL8153B firmware path. Could
the changelog say why RTL8156A now gets a 1000 ms timer plus
FLOW_CTRL_PATCH_OPT, while RTL8156B keeps the 600 ms timer,
FLOW_CTRL_PATCH_2 and PLA_CPCR FLOW_CTRL_EN?
For RTL_VER_16/RTL_VER_17_QFN68/RTL_VER_17_QFN100 the helper adds a new
register, PLA_PAUSE_LIMIT (0xe61e), the new PAUSE_LIMIT_EN/PAUSE_LIMIT_MASK
bits, and a link-speed dependent pause packet count, but it sets neither
PLA_CPCR FLOW_CTRL_EN nor USB_FC_TIMER even though the changelog says the
flow control patch was "missing for ... RTL8157/8159". None of the new
register or the pause budget calculation is described in the changelog.
Could the changelog describe the observed malfunction, the link speeds and
traffic conditions it was seen under, and what was tested, so the behaviour
change on already supported RTL8156A hardware and the new pause limit
programming can be judged?
