[PATCH net-next 1/2] Documentation: net: dsa: add details about SJA1110

From: Vladimir Oltean
Date: Thu Jun 24 2021 - 10:55:53 EST


From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx>

Denote that the new switch generation is supported, detail its pin
strapping options (with differences compared to SJA1105) and explain how
MDIO access to the internal 100base-T1 and 100base-TX PHYs is performed.

MDIO bus available to Linux within the system (e.g. to the DSA master's MDIO
bus). Link state management then works by the driver manually keeping in sync
(over SPI commands) the MAC link speed with the settings negotiated by the PHY.

+By comparison, the SJA1110 supports an MDIO slave access point over which its
+internal 100base-T1 PHYs can be accessed from the host. This is, however, not
+used by the driver, instead the internal 100base-T1 and 100base-TX PHYs are
+accessed through SPI commands, modeled in Linux as virtual MDIO buses.
+
+The microcontroller attached to the SJA1110 port 0 also has an MDIO controller
+operating in master mode, however the driver does not support this either,
+since the microcontroller gets disabled when the Linux driver operates.
+Discrete PHYs connected to the switch ports should have their MDIO interface
+attached to an MDIO controller from the host system and not to the switch,
+similar to SJA1105.
