net: phy: smsc: add proper reset flags for LAN8710A

2025-07-31T01:14:11+00:00

According to the LAN8710A datasheet (Rev. B, section 3.8.5.1), a hardware reset is required after power-on, and the reference clock (REF_CLK) must be established before asserting reset.

net: phy: smsc: Fix link failure in forced mode with Auto-MDIX

2025-07-09T01:12:49+00:00

Force a fixed MDI-X mode when auto-negotiation is disabled to prevent link instability. When forcing the link speed and duplex on a LAN9500 PHY (e.g., with `ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off ...`) while leaving MDI-X control in auto mode, the PHY fails to establish a stable link. This occurs because the PHY's Auto-MDIX algorithm is not designed to operate when auto-negotiation is disabled. In this state, the PHY continuously toggles the TX/RX signal pairs, which prevents the link partner from synchronizing. This patch resolves the issue by detecting when auto-negotiation is disabled. If the MDI-X control mode is set to 'auto', the driver now forces a specific, stable mode (ETH_TP_MDI) to prevent the pair toggling. This choice of a fixed MDI mode mirrors the behavior the hardware would exhibit if the AUTOMDIX_EN strap were configured for a fixed MDI connection.

net: phy: smsc: Force predictable MDI-X state on LAN87xx

2025-07-09T01:12:49+00:00

Override the hardware strap configuration for MDI-X mode to ensure a predictable initial state for the driver. The initial mode of the LAN87xx PHY is determined by the AUTOMDIX_EN strap pin, but the driver has no documented way to read its latched status. This unpredictability means the driver cannot know if the PHY has initialized with Auto-MDIX enabled or disabled, preventing it from providing a reliable interface to the user. This patch introduces a `config_init` hook that forces the PHY into a known state by explicitly enabling Auto-MDIX.

net: phy: smsc: Fix Auto-MDIX configuration when disabled by strap

2025-07-09T01:12:49+00:00

Correct the Auto-MDIX configuration to ensure userspace settings are respected when the feature is disabled by the AUTOMDIX_EN hardware strap. The LAN9500 PHY allows its default MDI-X mode to be configured via a hardware strap. If this strap sets the default to "MDI-X off", the driver was previously unable to enable Auto-MDIX from userspace. When handling the ETH_TP_MDI_AUTO case, the driver would set the SPECIAL_CTRL_STS_AMDIX_ENABLE_ bit but neglected to set the required SPECIAL_CTRL_STS_OVRRD_AMDIX_ bit. Without the override flag, the PHY falls back to its hardware strap default, ignoring the software request. This patch corrects the behavior by also setting the override bit when enabling Auto-MDIX. This ensures that the userspace configuration takes precedence over the hardware strap, allowing Auto-MDIX to be enabled correctly in all scenarios.

2023-12-08T10:56:25+00:00

This patch converts some basic cases of ethtool_sprintf() to ethtool_puts(). The conversions are used in cases where ethtool_sprintf() was being used with just two arguments: | ethtool_sprintf(&data, buffer[i].name); or when it's used with format string: "%s" | ethtool_sprintf(&data, "%s", buffer[i].name); which both now become: | ethtool_puts(&data, buffer[i].name); Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt Reviewed-by: Wei Fang Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Reviewed-by: Louis Peens Signed-off-by: David S.

net: phy: smsc: replace deprecated strncpy with ethtool_sprintf

2023-10-16T23:15:00+00:00

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. ethtool_sprintf() is designed specifically for get_strings() usage. Let's replace strncpy in favor of this dedicated helper function.
