[PATCH net-next v2 03/10] net: ethernet: oa_tc6: add OA_TC6_BROKEN_PHY quirk flag
From: Ciprian Regus via B4 Relay
Date: Tue May 26 2026 - 17:55:26 EST
From: Ciprian Regus <ciprian.regus@xxxxxxxxxx>
Some MAC-PHY devices need custom MDIO bus access functions to work
around hardware issues. Add the OA_TC6_BROKEN_PHY quirk flag so drivers
can opt in to skip oa_tc6's internal PHY init and manage the PHY
themselves. When the flag is set, oa_tc6 skips MDIO bus registration,
PHY discovery and PHY connection, leaving these to the driver.
Drivers that do not set the flag retain the existing behavior.
To avoid extending the oa_tc6_init() signature for each new option,
convert it to take a config struct. Update lan865x and the framework
documentation accordingly.
Signed-off-by: Ciprian Regus <ciprian.regus@xxxxxxxxxx>

v2 changelog:
- Added the quirk flag field in the oa_tc6_config struct and a first
value entry (OA_TC6_BROKEN_PHY) instead of the mii_bus struct.
