This series provides the Microchip LAN9645X Switch driver.
The LAN9645x is a family of chips with ethernet switch functionality and
multiple peripheral functions. The switch delivers up to 9 ethernet
ports and 12 Gbps switching bandwidth.
The switch chip has 5 integrated copper PHYs, support for 2x RGMII
interfaces, 2x SGMII and one QSGMII interface.
The switch chip is from the same design architecture family as ocelot
and lan966x, and the driver reflects this similarity. However, LAN9645x
does not have an internal CPU in any package, and must be driven
externally. For register IO it supports interfaces such as SPI, I2C and
MDIO.
The chip supports a variety of network features such as
* Mactable for MDB/FDB functionality
* Bridge forwarding offload
* VLAN-aware bridging
* IGMP/MLD snooping
* Link aggregation
* PTP timestamping
* FRER (802.1CB)
* Media Redundancy Protocol
* Parallel Redundancy and High-Availability Seamless Redundancy
(HSR/PRP) in DANH/DANP mode
* Per stream filtering and policing
* Shapers such as Credit Based Shaping and Time Aware Shaing
* Frame preemption
* A TCAM (VCAP) for line-rate frame processing
The LAN9645x family consists of the following SKUs:
LAN96455F
LAN96457F
LAN96459F
LAN96455S
LAN96457S
LAN96459S
The difference between the SKUs is the number of supported ports (5, 7
or 9) and features supported. The F subfamily supports HSR/PRP and TSN,
while the S subfamily does not.
The intended way to bind this driver is using a parent MFD driver,
responsible for the register IO protocol, and distributing regmaps to
child devices. The goal is to use the same approach as the MFD driver in
drivers/mfd/ocelot-spi.c.
This driver expects to request named regmaps from a parent device. This
approach is similar to the DSA driver
drivers/net/dsa/ocelot/ocelot_ext.c
which supports being driven by an external CPU via SPI with parent
device drivers/mfd/ocelot-spi.c.
The MFD driver will come in a later series, because there are
requirements on the number of child devices before a driver qualifies as
a MFD device.
Development is done using the LAN966x as a host CPU, running the lan966x
swichdev driver, using the EVB-LAN9668 EDS2 board.
The datasheet is available here:
https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/aemDocuments/documents/UNG/ProductDocuments/DataSheets/LAN9645xF-Data-Sheet-DS00006065.pdf
This series will deliver the following features:
* Standalone ports
* Bridge forwarding and FDB offloading
* VLAN-aware bridge
* Stats integration
More support will be added at a later stage. Here is a tentative plan of
future patches for this DSA driver:
* Add LAG support.
* Add MDB support.
* Add TC matchall mirror support.
* Add TC matchall police support.
* Add DCB/qos support.
* Add simple TC support: mqprio, cbs, tbf, ebf.
* Add TC flower filter support.
* Add HSR/PRP offloading support.
* Add PTP support.
* Add TC taprio support.
For completeness I include tentative plan of planned patches for
LAN9645x peripherals:
* Extend pinctrl-ocelot for LAN9645x:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-gpio/20260119-pinctrl_ocelot_extend_support_for_lan9645x-v1-0-1228155ed0ee@microchip.com/
* Add driver for internal PHY:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260123-phy_micrel_add_support_for_lan9645x_internal_phy-v1-1-8484b1a5a7fd@microchip.com/
* MFD driver for managing register IO protocol and child device
initialization.
* Extend pinctrl-microchip-sgpio for LAN9645x support.
* Extend i2c_designware for LAN9645x support.
* Add driver for outbound interrupt controller.
* Add serdes driver for lan9645x.

Changes in v3:
- Individual patches mention specific v3 changes.
- Add guard before vlan_remove_tag on xmit
- Add pskb_may_pull checks on rx
- Remove additionalProperties: true in bindings
- Remove unnecessary | from description in bindings
- Change top level $ref to dsa.yaml#/$defs/ethernet-ports
- Use ethernet-ports and ethernet-port
- Move ethernet-ports under properties instead of patternProperties
- Move unevaluatedProperties: false after $ref
- Update bindings example to use ethernet-ports and ethernet-port
- Move DEV_MAC_TAGS_CFG to port setup, instead of vlan config, so vlan
overhead is always included in port frame maxlen calculation.
- Remove code disabling ipv6 on conduit
- Use of_property_read_u32 for {rx,tx}-internal-delay-ps
- Use dsa_user_ports(ds) instead of
GENMASK(lan9645x->num_phys_ports - 1, 0) as base flood mask.
- Add comment explaining obey vlan
- Allow disabling aging with explicit zero parameters.
- Fix non-forwarding STP states in bridge fwd calculation.
- Restore host flood state on bridge leave.
- Avoid mac_entry dealloc when mac table writes fail.
- Avoid mdb_entry dealloc when mac table writes fail.
- Dealloc mac_entries on deinit.
- Dealloc mdb_entries on deinit.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260324-dsa_lan9645x_switch_driver_base-v2-0-f7504e3b0681@microchip.com
Changes in v2:
- Individual patches have specific v2 changes.
- Ran DSA, and std counters, selftests, which prompted several changes.
The following selftests pass, except for some expected failures:
- bridge_vlan_aware.sh
- bridge_vlan_unaware.sh
- bridge_vlan_mcast.sh
- no_forwarding.sh
- bridge_mdb.sh
- bridge_mld.sh
- test_fdb_stress_test.sh
- .../drivers/net/hw/ethtool_rmon.sh
- .../drivers/net/hw/ethtool_std_stats.sh (from Ioana's series)
- Added new patch for MDB management, as this was required for selftests.
- Added port_set_host_flood to enable unknown traffic to standalone during
promisc/ALL_MULTI (selftests).
- Remove the dubugfs.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260303-dsa_lan9645x_switch_driver_base-v1-0-bff8ca1396f5@microchip.com
