net: mdio: aspeed: add dummy read to avoid read-after-write issue

2026-01-08T09:14:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit d1a1a4bade4b20c0858d0b2f81d2611de055f675 ] The Aspeed MDIO controller may return incorrect data when a read operation follows immediately after a write. Due to a controller bug, the subsequent read can latch stale data, causing the polling logic to terminate earlier than expected. To work around this hardware issue, insert a dummy read after each write operation. This ensures that the next actual read returns the correct data and prevents premature polling exit. This workaround has been verified to stabilize MDIO transactions on affected Aspeed platforms.

net: phy: fixed_phy: let fixed_phy_unregister free the phy_device

2025-11-13T20:34:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit a0f849c1cc6df0db9083b4c81c05a5456b1ed0fb ] fixed_phy_register() creates and registers the phy_device. To be symmetric, we should not only unregister, but also free the phy_device in fixed_phy_unregister(). This allows to simplify code in users. Note wrt of_phy_deregister_fixed_link(): put_device(&phydev->mdio.dev) and phy_device_free(phydev) are identical.

net: mdio: mdio-bcm-unimac: Correct rate fallback logic

2025-08-15T10:14:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit a81649a4efd382497bf3d34a623360263adc6993 ] When the parent clock is a gated clock which has multiple parents, the clock provider (clk-scmi typically) might return a rate of 0 since there is not one of those particular parent clocks that should be chosen for returning a rate. Prior to ee975351cf0c ("net: mdio: mdio-bcm-unimac: Manage clock around I/O accesses"), we would not always be passing a clock reference depending upon how mdio-bcm-unimac was instantiated. In that case, we would take the fallback path where the rate is hard coded to 250MHz. Make sure that we still fallback to using a fixed rate for the divider calculation, otherwise we simply ignore the desired MDIO bus clock frequency which can prevent us from interfacing with Ethernet PHYs properly.

net: mdio: mux-meson-gxl: set reversed bit when using internal phy

2025-05-09T07:50:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit b23285e93bef729e67519a5209d5b7fde3b4af50 ] This bit is necessary to receive packets from the internal PHY. Without this bit set, no activity occurs on the interface. Normally u-boot sets this bit, but if u-boot is compiled without net support, the interface will be up but without any activity. If bit is set once, it will work until the IP is powered down or reset. The vendor SDK sets this bit along with the PHY_ID bits.
