    net: mvpp2: cycle comphy to power it down · 6791c102
    Russell King authored
    Presently, at boot time, the comphys are enabled. For firmware
    compatibility reasons, the comphy driver does not power down the
    comphys at boot. Consequently, the ethernet comphys are left active
    until the network interfaces are brought through an up/down cycle.
    
    If the port is never used, the port wastes power needlessly. Arrange
    for the ethernet comphys to be cycled by the mvpp2 driver as if the
    interface went through an up/down cycle during driver probe, thereby
    powering them down.
    
    This saves:
      270mW per 10G SFP+ port on the Macchiatobin Single Shot (eth0/eth1)
      370mW per 10G PHY port on the Macchiatobin Double Shot (eth0/eth1)
      160mW on the SFP port on either Macchiatobin flavour (eth3)
