      phy: armada-38x: fix NETA lockup when repeatedly switching speeds · 1dea06cd
      Russell King authored
      The mvneta hardware appears to lock up in various random ways when
      repeatedly switching speeds between 1G and 2.5G, which involves
      reprogramming the COMPHY.  It is not entirely clear why this happens,
      but best guess is that reprogramming the COMPHY glitches mvneta clocks
      causing the hardware to fail.  It seems that rebooting resolves the
      failure, but not down/up cycling the interface alone.
      
      Various other approaches have been tried, such as trying to cleanly
      power down the COMPHY and then take it back through the power up
      initialisation, but this does not seem to help.
      
      It was finally noticed that u-boot's last step when configuring a
      COMPHY for "SGMII" mode was to poke at a register described as
      "GBE_CONFIGURATION_REG", which is undocumented in any external
      documentation.  All that we have is the fact that u-boot sets a bit
      corresponding to the "SGMII" lane at the end of COMPHY initialisation.
      
      Experimentation shows that if we clear this b...

      dt: update Marvell Armada 38x COMPHY binding · 6c89533d

      Update the Marvell Armada 38x COMPHY binding with an additional
      optional register pair describing the location of an undocumented
      system register controlling something to do with the Gigabit Ethernet
      and COMPHY.  There is one bit for each COMPHY lane that may be using
      the serdes, but exactly what this register does is completely unknown.
      
      This register only appears to exist on Armada 38x devices, and not
      other SoCs using the NETA ethernet block, so it seems logical that it
      should be part of the COMPHY.
      
      This is also how u-boot groups this register; it is dealt with as part
      of the COMPHY initialisation there.
      
      However, at the end of the day, due to the undocumented nature of this
      register, we can only guess.
