net: enetc: force the RGMII speed and duplex instead of operating in inband mode
The ENETC port 0 MAC supports in-band status signaling coming from a PHY when operating in RGMII mode, and this feature is enabled by default. It has been reported that RGMII is broken in fixed-link, and that is not surprising considering the fact that no PHY is attached to the MAC in that case, but a switch. This brings us to the topic of the patch: the enetc driver should have not enabled the optional in-band status signaling for RGMII unconditionally, but should have forced the speed and duplex to what was resolved by phylink. Note that phylink does not accept the RGMII modes as valid for in-band signaling, and these operate a bit differently than 1000base-x and SGMII (notably there is no clause 37 state machine so no ACK required from the MAC, instead the PHY sends extra code words on RXD[3:0] whenever it is not transmitting something else, so it should be safe to leave a PHY with this option unconditionally enabled even if we ignore it). The spec talks about this here: https://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/138/RGMIIv1_5F00_3.pdf Fixes: 71b77a7a ("enetc: Migrate to PHYLINK and PCS_LYNX") Cc: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Cc: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Cc: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Acked-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.
