Absolutely not. You haven't read the phylink documentation, nor understood how phylink works. Since you haven't read the phylink documentation, I'm not going to waste any more time reviewing this series since you haven't done your side of the bargin here.

I think it might not be sufficient. I did search through the internet and found the phylink document from kernel.org (https://docs.kernel.org/networking/sfp-phylink.html). Kindly let me know if there are any other phylink documents I might have overlooked. According to the phylink document from kernel.org, it does mention that "phylink is a mechanism to support hot-pluggable networking modules directly connected to a MAC without needing to re-initialise the adapter on hot-plug events." I realize I should not destroy and reinitialize the PCS. Instead, I plan to follow the implementation in "net: macb: use .mac_select_pcs() interface" (https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/E1n568J-002SZX-Gr@rmk-PC.armlinux.org.uk/T/). This involves initializing the required PCS during the MAC probe and querying the PCS based on the interface. Kindly let me know if I've overlooked anything in this proposed solution.

From phylink.h: /** * mac_select_pcs: Select a PCS for the interface mode. * @config: a pointer to a &struct phylink_config. * @interface: PHY interface mode for PCS * * Return the &struct phylink_pcs for the specified interface mode, or * NULL if none is required, or an error pointer on error. * * This must not modify any state. It is used to query which PCS should * be used. Phylink will use this during validation to ensure that the * configuration is valid, and when setting a configuration to internally * set the PCS that will be used. */ Note the "This must not modify any state." statement. By reinitialising the PCS in this method, you are violating that statement. This requirement is because this method will be called by phylink_validate_mac_and_pcs() at various times, potentially for each and every interface that stmmac supports, which will lead to you reinitialising the PCS, killing the link, each time we ask the MAC for a PCS, whether we are going to make use of it in that mode or not. You can not do this. Sorry. Hard NAK for this approach.

Plase do not copy that mac_select_pcs() implementation - changing the "ops" underneath phylink is no longer permitted.

My intention was to simplify the series, focusing solely on managing SGMII and 2500BASE-X interface mode switching. The recommendation to have the PHY driver fill in "phydev->possible_interfaces" will be addressed in a separate patch submission. I hope this is acceptable. In the new patch series, I removed "allow_switch_interface" patches. The current solution continues to work with PHYs that are C45 and follow the legacy path, such as Marvell Alaska 88E2110. For the upcoming patch series, I will implement "phydev->possible_interfaces" for C22 and C45 PHYs. >> 2.

According to the XPCS datasheet, a soft reset is necessary to re-initiate Clause 37 auto-negotiation when switching to SGMII interface mode. This is the only setting required for properly configuring the SGMII interface mode, and nothing extra is needed for 2500BASE-X configuration. In the new patch series, I removed "mac_select_pcs()" related patches and added a "xpcs_soft_reset()" patch for the XPCS.

XPCS creation will map the configuration for the provided interface mode. Then XPCS will operate according to the interface mode. When the interface mode changes, XPCS is required to map the configuration to the new interface mode and destroy the old interface mode where it is not in use.
