net: phy: dp83869: fix setting CLK_O_SEL field.

2026-06-01T15:35:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit 46f74a3f7d57d9cc0110b09cbc8163fa0a01afa2 ] Table 7-121 in datasheet says we have to set register 0xc6 to value 0x10 before CLK_O_SEL can be modified. No more infos about this field found in datasheet. With this fix, setting of CLK_O_SEL field in IO_MUX_CFG register worked through dts property "ti,clk-output-sel" on a DP83869HMRGZR.

net: phy: qcom: at803x: Use the correct bit to disable extended next page

2026-06-01T15:35:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit e7a62edd34b1b4bc5f979988efc2f81c075733fd ] As noted in the blamed commit, the AR8035 and other PHYs from this family advertise the Extended Next Page support by default, which may be understood by some partners as this PHY being multi-gig capable. The fix is to disable XNP advertising, which is done by setting bit 12 of the Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register (MII_ADVERTISE). The blamed commit incorrectly uses MDIO_AN_CTRL1_XNP, which is bit 13 as per 802.3 : 45.2.7.1 AN control register (Register 7.0) BIT 12 in MII_ADVERTISE is wrapped by ADVERTISE_RESV, used by some drivers such as the aquantia one. 802.3 Clause 28 defines bit 12 as Extended Next Page ability, at least in recent versions of the standard. Let's add a define for it and use it in the at803x driver.

device property: Make modifications of fwnode "flags" thread safe

2026-06-01T15:35:13+00:00

commit f72e77c33e4b5657af35125e75bab249256030f3 upstream. In various places in the kernel, we modify the fwnode "flags" member by doing either: fwnode->flags |= SOME_FLAG; fwnode->flags &= ~SOME_FLAG; This type of modification is not thread-safe. If two threads are both mucking with the flags at the same time then one can clobber the other. While flags are often modified while under the "fwnode_link_lock", this is not universally true. Create some accessor functions for setting, clearing, and testing the FWNODE flags and move all users to these accessor functions. New accessor functions use set_bit() and clear_bit(), which are thread-safe.

There is also no requirement the PHY has been attached to a MAC, the triggers only make use of phydev state. This allows the call to phy_led_triggers_registers() to be placed elsewhere. PHY probe() and release() don't hold RTNL, so solving the AB-BA deadlock.

phy: mscc: Fix PTP for VSC8574 and VSC8572

2026-01-19T12:09:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit ea5df88aeca112aac69e6c32e3dd1433a113b0c9 ] The PTP initialization is two-step. First part are the function vsc8584_ptp_probe_once() and vsc8584_ptp_probe() at probe time which initialize the locks, queues, creates the PTP device. The second part is the function vsc8584_ptp_init() at config_init() time which initialize PTP in the HW. For VSC8574 and VSC8572, the PTP initialization is incomplete. It is missing the first part but it makes the second part. Meaning that the ptp_clock_register() is never called. There is no crash without the first part when enabling PTP but this is unexpected because some PHys have PTP functionality exposed by the driver and some don't even though they share the same PTP clock PTP.

net: phy: marvell: Fix 88e1510 downshift counter errata

2025-12-06T21:09:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit deb105f49879dd50d595f7f55207d6e74dec34e6 ] The 88e1510 PHY has an erratum where the phy downshift counter is not cleared after phy being suspended(BMCR_PDOWN set) and then later resumed(BMCR_PDOWN cleared). This can cause the gigabit link to intermittently downshift to a lower speed. Disabling and re-enabling the downshift feature clears the counter, allowing the PHY to retry gigabit link negotiation up to the programmed retry count times before downshifting. This behavior has been observed on copper links.

net: phy: dp83867: Disable EEE support as not implemented

[ Upstream commit 84a905290cb4c3d9a71a9e3b2f2e02e031e7512f ] While the DP83867 PHYs report EEE capability through their feature registers, the actual hardware does not support EEE (see Links). When the connected MAC enables EEE, it causes link instability and communication failures. The issue is reproducible with a iMX8MP and relevant stmmac ethernet port. Since the introduction of phylink-managed EEE support in the stmmac driver, EEE is now enabled by default, leading to issues on systems using the DP83867 PHY. Call phy_disable_eee during phy initialization to prevent EEE from being enabled on DP83867 PHYs.

As in this case the HW will never generate an interrupt to say that the frame was timestamped, then the frame will never released. Fix this by freeing the frame in case of one-step timestamping.
