Sorry, I'll fix it.

You need to be careful here. If the MAC is doing the RGMII delays, you
need to ensure the PHY is not. What interface mode is passed to the
PHY?
Hi Andrew,

mt7531 RGMII port is a MAC-only port, it can be connected to CPU MAC or
external phy. In bpi-r64 board, mt7531 RGMII is connected to CPU MAC, so
I tend to implement RGMII logic for use case of bpi-r64.

In general, according to phy.rst, RGMII delay should be done by phy, but
some MoCA product need RGMII delay in MAC. These two requirements
conflict. Is there any suggestion to solve the conflict?

If mt7531 RGMII implementation needs to satisfy either phy.rst or
special MoCA product, I would like to satisfy phy.rst and remove MAC
RGMII delay in v3. For special product needs MAC RGMII delay, this patch
can be used in its local codebase.

Hi Landen,

With the current mainline code [1], the dsa code tries to detect how the MAC5
is used. All the three modes are supported. MAC5 -> PHY0, MAC5 -> PHY4, MAC5 ->
EXTERNAL PHY and MAC5 to external MAC.

When MAC5 is a DSA port it skips settings the delay settings. See [2].

Maybe you can use a similar concept.

Greats,

René
