phylink: add phylink infrastructure

2017-08-07T03:55:29Z

The link between the ethernet MAC and its PHY has become more complex as the interface evolves. This is especially true with serdes links, where the part of the PHY is effectively integrated into the MAC. Serdes links can be connected to a variety of devices, including SFF modules soldered down onto the board with the MAC, a SFP cage with a hotpluggable SFP module which may contain a PHY or directly modulate the serdes signals onto optical media with or without a PHY, or even a classical PHY connection. Moreover, the negotiation information on serdes links comes in two varieties - SGMII mode, where the PHY provides its speed/duplex/flow control information to the MAC, and 1000base-X mode where both ends exchange their abilities and each resolve the link capabilities. This means we need a more flexible means to support these arrangements, particularly with the hotpluggable nature of SFP, where the PHY can be attached or detached after the network device has been brought up. Ethtool information can come from multiple sources: - we may have a PHY operating in either SGMII or 1000base-X mode, in which case we take ethtool/mii data directly from the PHY. - we may have a optical SFP module without a PHY, with the MAC operating in 1000base-X mode - the ethtool/mii data needs to come from the MAC. - we may have a copper SFP module with a PHY whic can't be accessed, which means we need to take ethtool/mii data from the MAC. Phylink aims to solve this by providing an intermediary between the MAC and PHY, providing a safe way for PHYs to be hotplugged, and allowing a SFP driver to reconfigure the serdes connection. Phylink also takes over support of fixed link connections, where the speed/duplex/flow control are fixed, but link status may be controlled by a GPIO signal. By avoiding the fixed-phy implementation, phylink can provide a faster response to link events: fixed-phy has to wait for phylib to operate its state machine, which can take several seconds. In comparison, phylink takes milliseconds.

net: phy: provide a hook for link up/link down events

2017-08-07T03:55:28Z

Sometimes, we need to do additional work between the PHY coming up and marking the carrier present - for example, we may need to wait for the PHY to MAC link to finish negotiation. This changes phylib to provide a notification function pointer which avoids the built-in netif_carrier_on() and netif_carrier_off() functions. Standard ->adjust_link functionality is provided by hooking a helper into the new ->phy_link_change method. Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: Russell King Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: phy: move phy_lookup_setting() and guts of phy_supported_speeds() to phy-core

2017-08-07T03:55:28Z

phy_lookup_setting() provides useful functionality in ethtool code outside phylib. Move it to phy-core and allow it to be re-used (eg, in phylink) rather than duplicated elsewhere. Note that this supports the larger linkmode space. As we move the phy settings table, we also need to move the guts of phy_supported_speeds() as well.

Other code would like to make use of this, so make the speed and duplex string generation visible, and place it in a separate file. Signed-off-by: Russell King Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Commit 4c5e7a2c0501 ("dt-bindings: mdio: Clarify binding document") declared that a MDIO reset GPIO property should have only a single GPIO reference/specifier, however the supporting code was left intact, still burdening the kernel with now apparently useless loops -- get rid of them.

net: phy: add XAUI and 10GBASE-KR PHY connection types

2017-06-07T01:14:13Z

XAUI allows XGMII to reach an extended distance by using a XGXS layer at each end of the MAC to PHY link, operating over four Serdes lanes. 10GBASE-KR is a single lane Serdes backplane ethernet connection method with autonegotiation on the link. Some PHYs use this to connect to the ethernet interface at 10G speeds, switching to other connection types when utilising slower speeds. 10GBASE-KR is also used for XFI and SFI to connect to XFP and SFP fiber modules.
