[PATCH net-next 3/3] net: phy: motorcomm: Enable analog frontend on YT8531S
From: Maxime Chevallier
Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 03:43:07 EST
The YT6801 PCIe NIC includes the dwmac-motorcomm IP for the MAC part, as
well as a YT8531S PHY, configured in GMII mode.
It seems this PHY requires the Analog Front-end (AFE) DAC clock to be
enabled for link to reliably establish, otherwise the link just doesn't
come up.
Let's enable it at config_init().
This logic has been extracted from the vendor driver provided by
Motorcomm.
It's really unclear if this is specific to the integrated version of
that PHY, and how this potentially interacts with the fiber mode this
PHY supports, so this configuration is only enabled when the interface
is GMII, i.e. the PHY is integrated.
With this, the PHY reliably establishes link and the YT6801 PCIe card
becomes fully functional.
