net: phy: fix up const issues in to_mdio_device() and to_phy_device()

2025-06-19T13:28:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit e9cb929670a1e98b592b30f03f06e9e20110f318 ] Both to_mdio_device() and to_phy_device() "throw away" the const pointer attribute passed to them and return a non-const pointer, which generally is not a good thing overall. Fix this up by using container_of_const() which was designed for this very problem.

net: mdio: add unlocked mdiobus and mdiodev bus accessors

2023-07-14T07:51:48+00:00

Add the following unlocked accessors to complete the set: __mdiobus_modify() __mdiodev_read() __mdiodev_write() __mdiodev_modify() __mdiodev_modify_changed() which we will need for Marvell DSA PCS conversion.

net: mdio: add mdio_device_get() and mdio_device_put()

2023-05-30T04:46:53+00:00

Add two new operations for a mdio device to manage the refcount on the underlying struct device. This will be used by mdio PCS drivers to simplify the creation and destruction handling, making it easier for users to get it correct.

net: phy: add genphy_c45_ethtool_get/set_eee() support

2023-02-13T11:12:31+00:00

Add replacement for phy_ethtool_get/set_eee() functions. Current phy_ethtool_get/set_eee() implementation is great and it is possible to make it even better: - this functionality is for devices implementing parts of IEEE 802.3 specification beyond Clause 22. The better place for this code is phy-c45.c - currently it is able to do read/write operations on PHYs with different abilities to not existing registers. It is better to use stored supported_eee abilities to avoid false read/write operations. - the eee_active detection will provide wrong results on not supported link modes. It is better to validate speed/duplex properties against supported EEE link modes. - it is able to support only limited amount of link modes. We have more EEE link modes... By refactoring this code I address most of this point except of the last one. Adding additional EEE link modes will need more work. Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: phy: add genphy_c45_read_eee_abilities() function

2023-02-13T11:12:31+00:00

Add generic function for EEE abilities defined by IEEE 802.3 specification. For now following registers are supported: - IEEE 802.3-2018 45.2.3.10 EEE control and capability 1 (Register 3.20) - IEEE 802.3cg-2019 45.2.1.186b 10BASE-T1L PMA status register (Register 1.2295) Since I was not able to find any flag signaling support of these registers, we should detect link mode abilities first and then based on these abilities doing EEE link modes detection. Results of EEE ability detection will be stored into new variable phydev->supported_eee. Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: mdio: Remove support for building C45 muxed addresses

2023-01-21T02:12:46+00:00

The old way of performing a C45 bus transfer created a special register value and passed it to the MDIO bus driver, in the hope it would see the MII_ADDR_C45 bit set, and perform a C45 transfer. Now that there is a clear separation of C22 and C45, this scheme is no longer used. Remove all the #defines and helpers, to prevent any code being added which tries to use it.

Some DSA devices pass through PHY access to the MDIO bus the switch is on. Add C45 versions of the current C22 helpers for nested accesses to MDIO busses, so that C22 and C45 can be separated in these DSA drivers.

net: mdio: Move mdiobus_c45_addr() next to users

2023-01-10T23:53:36+00:00

Now that mdiobus_c45_addr() is only used within the MDIO code during fallback, move the function next to its only users. This function should not be used any more in drivers, the c45 helpers should be used in its place, so hiding it away will prevent any new users from being added.

net: mdio: Add dedicated C45 API to MDIO bus drivers

2023-01-10T23:53:33+00:00

Currently C22 and C45 transactions are mixed over a combined API calls which make use of a special bit in the reg address to indicate if a C45 transaction should be performed. This makes it impossible to know if the bus driver actually supports C45. Additionally, many C22 only drivers don't return -EOPNOTSUPP when asked to perform a C45 transaction, they mistaking perform a C22 transaction. This is the first step to cleanly separate C22 from C45. To maintain backwards compatibility until all drivers which are capable of performing C45 are converted to this new API, the helper functions will fall back to the older API if the new API is not supported. Eventually this fallback will be removed. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: Michael Walle Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski
