[PATCH net-next 2/2] net: phy: Add ability to debug RGMII connections

From: Florian Fainelli
Date: Tue Oct 15 2019 - 18:50:28 EST


RGMII connections are always troublesome because of the need to add
delays between the RX or TX clocks and data lines. This can lead to a
fair amount of breakage that upsets users.

Introduce a new sysfs write only attribute which can be set to 1 to
instruct the PHY library to attempt to probe what the correct RGMII
phy_interface_t value should be. When such debugging is requested, the
PHY library will do a number of checks whether this debugging is even
necessary (RGMII used, Gigabit, not a Generic PHY driver etc.) and if
successfull will proceed with:

- putting the PHY in loopback mode
- register a packet handler with an unused Ethernet type value in the
kernel (ETH_P_EDSA is a well known unused value)
- re-configure the PHY and MAC with the phy_interface_t value to be
tried, which is one of the 4 possible interfaces, starting with the
currently defined one
- craft a MTU sized packet with the Ethernet interface's MAC SA and DA
set to itself and send that in a process context
- wait for that packet to be received through the registered packet_type
handler

If the packet is not received, we have a problem with the RGMII
interface, if we do receive something, we check the FCS we calculated on
transmit matches the FCS of the packet received, if we have a mismatch
it most likely will not.

If all is well, we stop iterating over all possible RGMII combinations
and offer the one that is deemed suitable which is what an user should
be trying by configuring the platform appropriately.

This is not deemed to be 100% fool proof, but given how much support
getting RGMII seems to involved, this seemed like a good tool to have
users self-diagnose their connection issues.

Future improvements could be made in order to extrapolate from a
specific frame patter the type of skewing between RXC/TXC that is going
on so as to refine the search process, and even possibly suggest delays.

The function phy_rgmii_debug_probe() could also be used by an Ethernet
controller during its selftests routines instead of open-coding that
part.
