[PATCH net v3 1/2] net: dsa: mt7530: populate lpi_interfaces to fix EEE support
From: Aleksei Sviridkin
Date: Thu Aug 27 2026 - 17:23:52 EST
phylink_create() decides once and for all that a MAC supports managed
EEE, and it requires the tx_lpi ops plus non-empty lpi_capabilities and
lpi_interfaces. mt753x_phylink_get_caps() leaves lpi_interfaces empty.
So ever since the conversion to phylink managed EEE, ethtool has
answered "Not supported" on every mt753x port, and phy_disable_eee()
has locked userspace out of turning EEE on. That undoes what
commit 06dfcd4098cf ("net: dsa: mt7530: fix enabling EEE on MT7531
switch on all boards") arranged: EEE off by default, but reachable
with ethtool.
Leave the speeds above 1 Gbps out of both bitmaps. PMCR folds
SPEED_2500 and SPEED_10000 onto PMCR_FORCE_SPEED_1000, so
PMCR_FORCE_EEE1G would govern LPI on such a link, and that is
unvalidated rather than known unsupported: MediaTek's SDK driver sets
the EEE force bits for 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps only, and the unit of the
wakeup timers is undocumented with the port clock at 2.5 times the
rate.
LPI stays off until userspace enables it, but the EEE advertisement of
a PHY that advertises it out of reset comes back, since phylink stops
force-clearing it.

Ports that support neither 100 Mbps nor 1 Gbps are skipped because on
MT7988, EN7581 and AN7583 port 6 is 10 Gbps only and shares
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_INTERNAL with the user ports, so the interface mask
alone cannot tell them apart. MT7531's internal PHYs keep the
advertisement mt7531_setup() zeroed and EN7528 keeps both bitmaps
empty, so EEE stays fully off there.
Two pre-existing things this patch makes live, neither addressed here:
- The unit of LPI_THRESH is still unspecified, as the comment above
lpi_timer_default says. ethtool now reports 30 for a switch port
against 1000 for the SoC MAC, which is a driver constant already in
microseconds, and mtk_eth_soc treats a structurally identical field
as milliseconds. Does anyone have the datasheet answer?
- mt753x_phylink_mac_enable_tx_lpi() sets the PMCR force-EEE bits
without checking the resolved speed or interface, relying entirely on
phylink never calling it above 1 Gbps. A check there would make the
driver robust independently of lpi_interfaces being right.
v2, with the full argument for leaving the higher speeds out:
