[PATCH net-next v2 0/2] net: dsa: mt7530: add EcoNet EN7528 built-in switch support
From: Ahmed Naseef
Date: Sat Jul 11 2026 - 07:41:43 EST
The EcoNet EN7528 is a MIPS SoC whose platform support is already
upstream. It integrates an MT7530 switch, memory-mapped like the built-in
switches of the MediaTek MT7988 and Airoha EN7581/AN7583 SoCs, but with a
true MT7530 core, four Gigabit PHYs on ports 1-4 and a CPU port at a fixed
1000 Mbps full duplex link.
Patch 1 documents the compatible, patch 2 adds the driver support.
Changes in v2:
- patch 1: reword the commit message to explain what distinguishes the
EN7528 from the other built-in switches and why it cannot fall back to
one of their compatibles (Conor Dooley).
- patch 2: drop the setup-time EEE advertisement register writes. Instead
leave lpi_capabilities empty for the EN7528, so phylink disables EEE on
its PHYs via phy_disable_eee() and rejects enabling it from userspace
(Andrew Lunn).

internally to the SoC Ethernet MAC.
+ Those three switches are MT7531-based, whereas the EN7528 has a genuine
+ MT7530 switch core (its chip revision register reads 0x7530). The two
+ generations differ in their register programming - for example the CPU
+ port is selected through the MT7530-style MFC register rather than the
+ MT7531 CFC register - so the EN7528 is not compatible with the existing
+ switch compatibles and cannot fall back to one of them.

Add the econet,en7528-switch compatible, with the same constraints as
the other built-in switches.
