This makes no sense.  The point of phylink is to be able to support SFP
cages, and SFP cages do not have a PHY described in DT.  So, when you
want to use phylink because of SFP, you can't, because if you omit
the PHY the driver avoids using phylink.

I don't think you've understood this despite the comments in the header
file.  What you describe above basically means you don't support any
kind of copper connection at 10G speeds, or any fiber modes at 10G
speeds either.

You need to set 10000baseT_Full for copper, 10000baseSR_Full,
10000baseLR_Full, 10000baseLRM_Full etc for fiber.  Had you looked at
my modifications for Marvell's mvpp2x driver you'd have spotted this...

You're blocking this for 1000base-X and 10G connections, which is not
correct.  The expectation is that this function returns the current
MAC state irrespective of the interface mode.

This prevents AN restart in 1000base-X mode, which is exactly the
mode that you need to do this.  SGMII doesn't care, and RGMII doesn't
have inband AN.

Again, 1000base-X is excluded, which will break it.  You do need
to avoid touching the GMAC for 10G connections however.

You're assuming that this function only sets the current parameters for
the MAC.  That's incorrect - it also needs to deal with autonegotiation
for inband AN, such as SGMII and 1000base-X.

Please explain why you think its necessary to force the link down when
the link is already down - if there's no media connected, we only
need to stop the ingress and egress.

It's certainly wrong to disable interrupts - how do we end up with
link status changes reported from the MAC to phylink if interrupts
have been disabled?

phylink in the presence of a PHY checks that both the PHY _and_ MAC
are reporting link before it calls mac_link_up(), so if you've
disabled interrupts...


You guys know that I have working example code for both mvneta and the
Marvell PP2x driver.  It probably would help if you looked at those
examples.
