[PATCH phy-next 1/3] phy: lynx-28g: use timeouts when waiting for lane halt and reset
From: Vladimir Oltean
Date: Fri Mar 20 2026 - 21:15:45 EST
There are various circumstances in which a lane halt, or a lane reset,
will fail to complete. If this happens, it will hang the kernel, which
only implements a busy loop with no timeout.
The circumstances in which this will happen are all bugs in nature:
- if we try to power off a powered off lane
- if we try to power off a lane that uses a PLL locked onto the wrong
refclk frequency (wrong RCW, but SoC boots anyway)
Actually, unbounded loops in the kernel are a bad practice, so let's use
read_poll_timeout() with a custom function that reads both LNaTRSTCTL
(lane transmit control register) and LNaRRSTCTL (lane receive control
register) and returns true when the request is done in both directions.
The HLT_REQ bit has to clear, whereas the RST_DONE bit has to get set.
Any time such an error happens, it is catastrophic and there is no point
in trying to propagate it to our callers:
- if lynx_28g_set_mode() -> lynx_28g_power_on() times out, we have
already reconfigured the lane, but returning an error would tell the
caller that we didn't
- if lynx_28g_power_off() times out, again not much for the consumer to
do to help get out of this situation - the phy_power_off() call is
probably made from a context that the consumer can't cancel, or it is
making it to return to a known state from a previous failure.
So just print an error if timeouts happen and let the driver control
flow continue. The entire point is just to not let the kernel freeze.

Changes:
- Stop propagating the read_poll_timeout() errors to callers
- Adjust commit message to explain that decision
