net: phylink: put link_gpio if phylink_create fails

2026-08-19T15:14:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0fe1e3e8f3380d7862296a73b528d164e96c76b8 ] In phylink_create() if phylink_register_sfp() returns an error, link_gpio obtained by phylink_parse_fixedlink() is never released. While this is a very unlikely scenario, it's worth to fix/handle this. This was present from the very first implementation of phylink but got relevant only with the introduction of ce0aa27ff3f6 ("sfp: add sfp-bus to bridge between network devices and sfp cages") where additional function were added after phylink_parse_fixedlink() making the release of link_gpio needed if such additional function errored out. While at it, restructure the exit condition of phylink_create() with the goto pattern to reduce code duplication on handling error conditions.

phy: mscc: Use PHY_ID_MATCH_EXACT for VSC8584, VSC8582, VSC8575, VSC856X

2026-06-19T11:33:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1bc80d673087e5704adbb3ee8e4b785c14899cce ] As the PHYs VSC8584, VSC8582, VSC8575 and VSC856X exists only as rev B, we can use PHY_ID_MATCH_EXACT to match exactly on revision B of the PHY. Because of this change then there is not need the check if it is a different revision than rev B in the function vsc8584_probe() as we already know that this will never happen. These changes are a preparation for the next patch because in that patch we will make the PHYs VSC8574 and VSC8572 to use vsc8584_probe() and these PHYs have multiple revision.

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.

A classical AB-BA deadlock. phy_led_triggers_registers() does not require the RTNL, it does not make any calls into the network stack which require protection. 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

[ 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.
