[PATCH net-next v4 0/4] dpll: add NCO pin type and zl3073x support

From: Ivan Vecera

Date: Wed May 27 2026 - 12:21:34 EST


Add a new DPLL_PIN_TYPE_INT_NCO pin type for virtual pins representing
the NCO mode of a DPLL and implement support for it in the zl3073x driver.

Patch 1 adds the new pin type to the DPLL netlink spec and UAPI header.

Patch 2 replaces the single 2s poll timeout with per-operation timeouts
based on Microchip proprietary source code and own measurement.

Patch 3 adds a per-DPLL serialization mutex taken by all DPLL callbacks
and the periodic worker, establishing a single lock that protects all
per-channel state. The chan_state_update() call is moved under this lock.

Patch 4 adds a virtual NCO input pin to the zl3073x driver that allows
userspace to switch a DPLL channel into NCO mode. The pin reports
connected/active state when the channel is in NCO mode and handles
the hardware-specific details of mode transitions including automatic
df_offset capture and 1PPS phase preservation.

Changes:
v4:
- New patch 2: per-operation poll timeouts
- New patch 3: per-DPLL serialization lock
- See individual patches for detailed changelogs.
v3:
- fixed SoB position
v2:
- See individual patches for detailed changelogs.
