[PATCH net] net: bcmgenet: fix bcmgenet_get_eee() clobbered by phy_ethtool_get_eee()
From: Nicolai Buchwitz
Date: Tue Mar 03 2026 - 10:40:45 EST
bcmgenet_get_eee() sets the MAC-managed tx_lpi_enabled and tx_lpi_timer
fields, then calls phy_ethtool_get_eee() which internally calls
eeecfg_to_eee() — overwriting eee_enabled, tx_lpi_enabled and
tx_lpi_timer with the PHY's eee_cfg values. For non-phylink MACs like
GENET, these PHY-level fields are never initialized (they are only set
by phylink via phy_support_eee()), so the ethtool report always shows
eee_enabled=false and tx_lpi_enabled=false regardless of the actual MAC
state.
Reorder the function to call phy_ethtool_get_eee() first, then restore
the MAC-managed fields from the driver's private state.
Fixes: fe0d4fd9285e ("net: phy: Keep track of EEE configuration")
