Expose phy-specific configuration hooks to get and set the state of an
ethernet PHY's internal configuration.

So far, these parameters include the loopback state of the PHY
(host-side loopback) and the isolation state of the PHY.

The .get_config() ethtool_phy_ops gets these status information from the
phy_device's internal flags, while the .set_config() operation allows
changing these configuration parameters.

I would recommend to have loopback enum. There are different levels of
loopback:
https://www.ti.com/document-viewer/DP83TD510E/datasheet#GUID-50834313-DEF1-42FB-BA00-9B0902B2D7E4/TITLE-SNLS656SNLS5055224

I imagine something like this:

/*
 * enum phy_loopback_mode - PHY loopback modes
 * These modes represent different loopback configurations to
 * facilitate in-circuit testing of the PHY's digital and analog paths.
 */
enum phy_loopback_mode {
	PHY_LOOPBACK_NONE = 0,		/* No loopback mode enabled */
	PHY_LOOPBACK_MII,		/* MII Loopback: MAC to PHY internal loopback */
	PHY_LOOPBACK_PCS,		/* PCS Loopback: PCS layer loopback, no signal processing */
	PHY_LOOPBACK_DIGITAL,		/* Digital Loopback: Loops back entire digital TX/RX path */
	PHY_LOOPBACK_ANALOG,		/* Analog Loopback: Loops back after analog front-end */
	PHY_LOOPBACK_FAR_END		/* Far-End (Reverse) Loopback: Receiver to MAC interface loopback */
};

At same time, one interface will have multiple loopback providers, except of
multiple PHYs, MAC will provide it too.

I assume, we need a bit field per component to reflect supported loopback modes.

If you have time, please take a look at net/core/selftests.c this will be
one of consumers which should walk over different loopback levels to find the
location of potential problem.

Regards,
Oleksij

I agree with you on that, having the ability to fine-tune where the
loopback happens is really useful for debug. The main problem I would
see is to come-up with a set of modes that are somewhat generic, as
vendors implement a wide variety of loopback modes.

For example, on BaseT4 PHYs the Analog loopback doesn't exist and is
more akin to using a loopback stub, whereas the Digital loopback would
be a loopback at the PMD level (I don't know if that even exists).

That being said, the list of possible places to setup the loopback
within a PHY is finite and it's conceivable to come-up with a set of
loopback modes.

Thanks a lot for the feedback,

Maxime
