[PATCH v3 net-next] octeontx2-pf: report port connector type in ethtool link ksettings
From: Ratheesh Kannoth
Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 00:08:19 EST
From: Hariprasad Kelam <hkelam@xxxxxxxxxxx>
otx2_get_link_ksettings() already reports speed, duplex, autoneg, link
modes and FEC from CGX firmware shared data, but never fills
cmd->base.port. As a result, ethtool does not show the physical
connector type even though firmware provides it in fwdata.port.
Read the connector type from shared firmware data and expose it via
ethtool. Extract only the low 8 bits of the firmware field and
validate the value against the standard ethtool PORT_* definitions
before publishing it to userspace.

v2 -> v3:
- Extract only the connector type bits with FIELD_GET(GENMASK(7, 0), ...)
instead of casting the full 64-bit firmware field to u8.
- Validate firmware values against the ethtool PORT_* whitelist before
exposing them to userspace, per Jakub's review.
- Map unrecognized firmware values to PORT_OTHER instead of passing
them through blindly.
v1 -> v2:
- Addressed Sashiko review comments.
