[PATCH net-next v3 08/11] net: phy: add support for C45-over-C22 transfers

From: Michael Walle
Date: Wed Jul 12 2023 - 11:08:45 EST


If an MDIO bus is only capable of doing C22 transfers we can use
indirect accesses to C45 registers over C22 registers. This was already
the intention of the GPY215 driver. The author described their use case
as follows:

Our product supports both C22 and C45.

In the real system, we found C22 was used by customers (with indirect
access to C45 registers when necessary).

In its probe function phy_get_c45_ids() is called but this will always
do C45 accesses and thus will fail on a C22-only bus.

Add a new transfer mode C45-over-C22. Care has to be taken for
get_phy_device() which is called by either the bus scanning code or the
network device drivers. In the former case, we must not do any
C45-over-C22 accesses because it invokes register writes and we cannot
be sure if the accessed device is a PHY. C45-over-C22 is just defined
for network PHYs, not generic MDIO devices. Therefore, the it is the
callers responsibility to choose the access mode for get_phy_device().

Due to the reasons above, the current scanning code the PHY core cannot
make use of the new transfer mode because we cannot be sure what device
is a PHY. The code will be used for the device tree scanning where we
know which device is a PHY and therefore, C45-over-C22 is safe to use.

A word on the error checking in the MMD access methods: due to legacy
reasons, we cannot check for errors if we do "normal" MMD access to a
C22 PHY without introducing possible regressions. Although, C45-over-C22
is doing essentially the same access, we can do better now and check for
any errors while doing the indirect access.

v3:
- instead of the boolean c45_over_c22 flag pass an enum access_mode
- use new low-level helper phy_mdiobus_read_mmd()
