net: bcmgenet: Patch PHY interface for dedicated PHY driver
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When we are using a dedicated PHY driver (not the Generic PHY driver)
chances are that it is going to configure RGMII delays and do that in a
way that is incompatible with our incorrect interpretation of the
phy_interface value.

Add a quirk in order to reverse the PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII to the
value of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID such that the MAC continues to be
configured the way it used to be, but the PHY driver can account for
adding delays. Conversely when PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID is
specified, return PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID to the PHY since we will
have enabled a TXC MAC delay (id_mode_dis=0, meaning there is a delay
inserted).

This is not considered a bug fix at this point since it only affects
Broadcom STB platforms shipping with a Device Tree blob that is not
updatable in the field (quite a few devices out there) and which was
generated using the scripted Device Tree environment shipped with those
platforms' SDK.

/* This is an ugly quirk but we have not been correctly interpreting
* the phy_interface values and we have done that across different
* drivers, so at least we are consistent in our mistakes.
*
* When the Generic PHY driver is in use either the PHY has been
* strapped or programmed correctly by the boot loader so we should
* stick to our incorrect interpretation since we have validated it.
*
* Now when a dedicated PHY driver is in use, we need to reverse the
* meaning of the phy_interface_mode values to something that the PHY
* driver will interpret and act on such that we have two mistakes
* canceling themselves so to speak. We only do this for the two
* modes that GENET driver officially supports on Broadcom STB chips:
* PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII and PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID. Other
* modes are not *officially* supported with the boot loader and the
* scripted environment generating Device Tree blobs for those
* platforms.
*
* Note that internal PHY, MoCA and fixed-link configurations are not
* affected because they use different phy_interface_t values or the
* Generic PHY driver.
