[RFC] net: dsa: qca8k: implement rgmii-id mode

[Michal VokÃÄ]

Hi,

networking on my boards [1], which are currently in linux-next, suddently
stopped working. I tracked it down to this commit 5ecdd77c61c8 ("net: dsa:
qca8k: disable delay for RGMII mode") [2].

So IÂthink the rgmii-id mode is obviously needed in my case.
I was able to find a couple drivers that read tx/rx-delay or
tx/rx-internal-delay from device tree. Namely:

  drivers/net/ethernet/apm/xgene/xgene_enet_main.c
  drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac-mediatek.c
  drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac-meson8b.c
  drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac-sun8i.c
  drivers/net/phy/dp83867.c

I would appreciate any hints how to add similar function to qca8k driver
if that is the correct way to go. Can I take some of the above mentioned
drivers as a good example for that? How should the binding look like?

I would expect something like this:

	switch@0 {
		compatible = "qca,qca8334";
		reg = <0>;

		switch_ports: ports {
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;

			ethphy0: port@0 {
				reg = <0>;
				label = "cpu";
				phy-mode = "rgmii-id";
				qca,tx-delay = <3>;
				qca,rx-delay = <3>;
				ethernet = <&fec>;
		};
	};


Thanks in advance,
Michal
