Second, drivers should really, really not rely on the machine. I don't think how this resolves ABI break for other users at all. You need to check what the ABI is here and do not break it.

You still need to explain why it's preferable to match this in the mainline kernel. Does it not work when you use the phylib maintainers suggestion (if that is so, you need to state as much.) > How does the Linux kernel suggest it? It's what phylib maintainers prefer, as documented in many emails from Andrew Lunn and in Documentation/networking/phy.rst: "Whenever possible, use the PHY side RGMII delay for these reasons: * PHY devices may offer sub-nanosecond granularity in how they allow a receiver/transmitter side delay (e.g: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5ns) to be specified. Such precision may be required to account for differences in PCB trace lengths * PHY devices are typically qualified for a large range of applications (industrial, medical, automotive...), and they provide a constant and reliable delay across temperature/pressure/voltage ranges * PHY device drivers in PHYLIB being reusable by nature, being able to configure correctly a specified delay enables more designs with similar delay requirements to be operated correctly " > > The usage of phy-mode in legacy DTS was also incorrect.

If the delays dependent on the phy-mode are going to be implemented at the MAC end, then changing the PHY mode indicated to phylink and phylib to PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII is the right thing to be doing. However, as mentioned in the documentation and by Andrew, this is discouraged.

You should set RGMII_CONFIG2_TX_CLK_PHASE_SHIFT_EN (i.e. adding a delay n the TX line) when the PHY does not add internal delays on that line (so, when the mode is rgmii or rgmii-rxid. The previous logic looks correct in that regard. Can you elaborate a bit more on the issue you are seeing ? On what hardware is this happening ? What's the RGMII setup used (i.e. which PHY, which mode, is there any delay lines on the PCB ?) Thanks, Maxime

Are you saying every other board DT got this correct? How do you know that? Was this SoC never shipped to anybody, so the only possible board is the QCOM RDK which never left the lab? I doubt this is true, so you are probably breaking out of tree boards. We care less about out of tree boards, but we also don't needlessly break them. Andrew
