[RFC PATCH net-next 3/8] phy: xgkr: add configuration interface for copper backplane Ethernet PHYs

From: Vladimir Oltean
Date: Thu Aug 17 2023 - 11:07:46 EST


In Layerscape and QorIQ SoCs, compliance with the backplane Ethernet
protocol is bolted on top of the SerDes lanes using an external IP core,
that is modeled as an Ethernet PHY. This means that dynamic tuning of
the electrical equalization parameters of the link needs to be
communicated with the consumer of the generic PHY.

Create a small layer of glue API between a networking PHY (dealing with
the AN/LT logic for backplanes) and a generic PHY by extending the
phy_configure() API with a new struct phy_configure_opts_xgkr.

There are 2 directions of interest. In the "local TX training", the
generic PHY consumer gets requests over the wire from the link partner
regarding changes we should make to our TX equalization. In the "remote
TX training" direction, the generic PHY is the producer of requests,
based on its RX status, and the generic PHY consumer polls for these
requests until we are happy. Each request is also sent (externally to
the generic PHY layer) to the link partner board, for it to adjust its
TX equalization.
