Quentin Schulz says: ==================== net: phy: mscc: add support for VSC8584 and VSC8574 Microsemi quad-port PHYs RESEND: rebased on top of latest net-next and on top of latest version of "net: phy: mscc: various improvements to Microsemi PHY driver" patch series. Both PHYs are 4-port PHY that are 10/100/1000BASE-T, 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-X and triple-speed copper SFP capable, can communicate with the MAC via SGMII, QSGMII or 1000BASE-X, supports downshifting and can set the blinking pattern of each of its 4 LEDs, supports SyncE as well as HP Auto-MDIX detection. VSC8574 supports WOL and VSC8584 supports hardware offloading of MACsec. This patch series add support for 10/100/1000BASE-T, SGMII/QSGMII link with the MAC, downshifting, HP Auto-MDIX detection and blinking pattern for their 4 LEDs. They have also an internal Intel 8051 microcontroller whose firmware needs to be patched when the PHY is reset. If the 8051's firmware has the expected CRC, its patching can be skipped. The microcontroller can be accessed from any port of the PHY, though the CRC function can only be done through the PHY that is the base PHY of the package (internal address 0) due to a limitation of the firmware. The GPIO register bank is a set of registers that are common to all PHYs in the package. So any modification in any register of this bank affects all PHYs of the package. If the PHYs haven't been reset before booting the Linux kernel and were configured to use interrupts for e.g. link status updates, it is required to clear the interrupts mask register of all PHYs before being able to use interrupts with any PHY. The first PHY of the package that will be init will take care of clearing all PHYs interrupts mask registers. Thus, we need to keep track of the init sequence in the package, if it's already been done or if it's to be done. Most of the init sequence of a PHY of the package is common to all PHYs in the package, thus we use the SMI broadcast feature which enables us to propagate a write in one register of one PHY to all PHYs in the same package. We also introduce a new development board called PCB120 which exists in variants for VSC8584 and VSC8574 (and that's the only difference to the best of my knowledge). I suggest patches 1 to 3 go through net tree and patches 4 and 5 go through MIPS tree. Patches going through net tree and those going through MIPS tree do not depend on one another. This patch series depends on this patch series: (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181008100728.24959-1-quentin.schulz@bootlin.com/ ) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
