[PATCH net-next v2 2/3] net: phy: air_en8811h: add Airoha AN8811HB support
Posted by Bjørn Mork 2 weeks, 3 days ago
The Airoha AN8811HB is mostly compatible with the EN8811H, adding 10Base-T
support and reducing power consumption.

This driver is based on the air_an8811hb v0.0.4 out-of-tree driver
written by "Lucien.Jheng <lucien.jheng@airoha.com>"

Firmware is available in linux-firmware. The driver has been tested with
firmware version 25110702

The code/comment probably does not describe what is actually happening
here. My _guess_ is you are setting a pinmux, disconnecting the pins
from the GPIO controller and connecting them to the LED controller.

I assume there is no open data sheet for this device?

Possibly.  This code is copied from the out-of-tree vendor driver.  We
already have similar code and comment in the en8811h probe:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/tree/drivers/net/phy/air_en8811h.c#n959

The register addresses and layouts are suspiciously similar:

#define EN8811H_GPIO_OUTPUT		0xcf8b8
#define   EN8811H_GPIO_OUTPUT_345		(BIT(3) | BIT(4) | BIT(5))

Without any docs, or a way to test this particular feature, I
believe the safest option is to assume that the vendor driver is
correct.  Can't start guessing no matter how tempting it is :-)

> I assume there is no open data sheet for this device?

Correct AFAIK.

I have no other docs either.  The code is based solely on the vendor
driver.  But trying to reuse as much as possible of the existing en8811h
driver instead of duplicating it like the vendor did.

I have two almost identical boards with this phy connected to a Mediatek
MT7988D SoC.  I can test, and have tested, the features exposed by those
boards.  But this is obviously a limited test environment.  There are
for example no port LEDs on any of the boards.

But that's what I got.

The writing of the value to the register is likely correct. I just
think all the names and comments are wrong.

Maybe using magic numbers in this case is actually better?

And describe the intent of the code in more general terms, allow the
pins to be used to driver LEDs.

That is typical of vendors, and i agree with your strategy,.

So you have no idea if the LEDs actualy blink with traffic, show link
state etc?

I agree that it would probably be just as good here.  But I really don't
want to make unnecessary changes to the existing EN8811H code.  Trying
hard to modify as little as possible of that in this series.  And I
believe it's always best to keep the style of similar code blocks inside
as single file/driver.

So unless this is important, I'd prefer to keep the macros and comment.
It is what we have had so far for EN8811H.

Correct.  I can only test that this code doesn't cause any obvious harm
to other functions.

The options, as I see them, are either
a) dropping this functionality from the driver until someone is able to
   test and adds it back, or
b) keep it in the hope that it works, until someone is able to test and
   either verifies or fixes the code.  Including fixups of the macros
   and comment if/when we get docs

I believe that b) is more likely to succeed, which is why I chose to
include it.
