Currently qca8337 switch are widely used on ipq8064 based router. On these particular router it was notice a very unstable switch with port not link detected as link with unknown speed, port dropping randomly and general unreliability. Lots of testing and comparison between this dsa driver and the original qsdk driver showed lack of some additional delay and values. A main difference arised from the original driver and the dsa one. The original driver didn't use MASTER regs to read phy status and the dedicated mdio driver worked correctly. Now that the dsa driver actually use these regs, it was found that these special read/write operation required mutual exclusion to normal qca8k_read/write operation. The add of mutex for these operation fixed the random port dropping and now only the actual linked port randomly dropped. Adding additional delay for set_page operation and fixing a bug in the mdio dedicated driver fixed also this problem. The current driver requires also more time to apply vlan switch. All of these changes and tweak permit a now very stable and reliable dsa driver and 0 port dropping. This series is currently tested by at least 5 user with different routers and all reports positive results and no problems. Changes v6: - Fix spelling mistake - Change ms to ns (confirmed by datasheet) Changes v5: - Removed mdio patch (sent separetly to try to reduce the series) I know it was asked to reduced this series since it big, but rework the new changes to skip and error check looks wrong. Since half of them are actually already reviewed I think it's better to keep this series as is. - Improve rgmii configurable patch - Move qca8k phy dedicated driver to at803x phy driver - Add support for dedicated internal mdio driver for qca8k Changes v4: - Use iopoll for busy_wait function - Better describe and split some confusing commits - Fix bad rgmii delay configurable patch - Drop phy generic patch to pass flags with phylink_connect_phy - Add dsa2 patch to declare mdio node in the switch node - Add dsa patch to permit dsa driver to declare custom get_phys_mii_mask Some background about the last 2 patch. The qca8k switch doesn't have a 1:1 map between port reg and phy reg. Currently it's used a function to convert port to the internal phy reg. I added some patch to fix this. - The dsa driver now check if the mdio node is present and use the of variant of the mdiobus_register - A custom phy_mii_mask is required as currently the mask is generated from the port reg, but in our case the mask would be different as it should be generated from the phy reg. To generalize this I added an extra function that driver can provide to pass custom phy_mii_mask. Changes v3: - Revert mdio writel changes (use regmap with REGCACHE disabled) - Split propagate error patch to 4 different patch Changes v2: - Implemented phy driver for internal PHYs I'm testing cable test functions as I found some documentation that actually declare regs about it. Problem is that it doesn't actually work. It seems that the value set are ignored by the phy. - Made the rgmii delay configurable - Reordered patch - Split mdio patches to more specific ones - Reworked mdio driver to use readl/writel instead of regmap - Reworked the entire driver to make it aware of any read/write error. - Added phy generic patch to pass flags with phylink_connect_phy function Ansuel Smith (25): net: dsa: qca8k: change simple print to dev variant net: dsa: qca8k: use iopoll macro for qca8k_busy_wait net: dsa: qca8k: improve qca8k read/write/rmw bus access net: dsa: qca8k: handle qca8k_set_page errors net: dsa: qca8k: handle error with qca8k_read operation net: dsa: qca8k: handle error with qca8k_write operation net: dsa: qca8k: handle error with qca8k_rmw operation net: dsa: qca8k: handle error from qca8k_busy_wait net: dsa: qca8k: add support for qca8327 switch devicetree: net: dsa: qca8k: Document new compatible qca8327 net: dsa: qca8k: add priority tweak to qca8337 switch net: dsa: qca8k: limit port5 delay to qca8337 net: dsa: qca8k: add GLOBAL_FC settings needed for qca8327 net: dsa: qca8k: add support for switch rev net: dsa: qca8k: add ethernet-ports fallback to setup_mdio_bus net: dsa: qca8k: make rgmii delay configurable net: dsa: qca8k: clear MASTER_EN after phy read/write net: dsa: qca8k: dsa: qca8k: protect MASTER busy_wait with mdio mutex net: dsa: qca8k: enlarge mdio delay and timeout net: dsa: qca8k: add support for internal phy and internal mdio devicetree: bindings: dsa: qca8k: Document internal mdio definition net: dsa: qca8k: improve internal mdio read/write bus access net: dsa: qca8k: pass switch_revision info to phy dev_flags net: phy: at803x: clean whitespace errors net: phy: add support for qca8k switch internal PHY in at803x .../devicetree/bindings/net/dsa/qca8k.txt | 40 + drivers/net/dsa/qca8k.c | 758 ++++++++++++++---- drivers/net/dsa/qca8k.h | 58 +- drivers/net/phy/Kconfig | 5 +- drivers/net/phy/at803x.c | 162 +++- 5 files changed, 835 insertions(+), 188 deletions(-)
