    net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Default ports 9/10 6390X CMODE to 1000BaseX · 787799a9
    Andrew Lunn authored
    The 6390X family has 8 SERDES interfaces. This allows ports 9 and 10
    to support up to 10Gbps using 4 SERDES interfaces. However, when lower
    speeds are used, which need fewer SERDES interfaces, the unused SERDES
    interfaces can be used by ports 2-8.
    
    The hardware defaults to ports 9 and 10 having all 4 SERDES interfaces
    assigned to them. This only gets changed when the interface is
    configured after what the SFP supports has been determined, or the 10G
    PHY completes auto-neg.
    
    For hardware designs which limit ports 9 and 10 to one or two SERDES
    interfaces, and place SFPs on the lower interfaces, this is too
    late. Those ports with SFP should not wait until ports 9/10 are up in
    order to get access to the SERDES interface. So change the default
    configuration when the driver is initialised. Configure ports 9 and 10
    to 1000BaseX, so they use a single SERDES interface, freeing up the
    others. They can steal them back if they need them.
