[PATCH v2 2/6] phy: qcom: sgmii-eth: vote for both voltage rails with correct current loads

From: Mohd Ayaan Anwar

Date: Mon Aug 03 2026 - 15:38:40 EST


The SerDes PHY has two voltage supply rails, vdda-0p9 and vdda-1p2,
that must both be enabled for calibration to succeed. Without them:

qcom-dwmac-sgmii-phy 8909000.phy: QSERDES_COM_C_READY_STATUS timed-out
qcom-ethqos 23040000.ethernet eth0: __stmmac_open: Serdes powerup failed

The driver relied solely on the PHY framework's implicit enable of
'phy-supply', which only voted for a single rail and set no current
load. Use devm_regulator_bulk_get_const() to acquire both supplies and
set the peak current loads (46 mA for vdda-0p9, 15 mA for vdda-1p2)
as required by the hardware.
