[PATCH v2 net 2/2] dpaa_eth: fix usage as DSA master, try 4

[Vladimir Oltean]

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx>

The dpaa-eth driver probes on compatible string for the MAC node, and
the fman/mac.c driver allocates a dpaa-ethernet platform device that
triggers the probing of the dpaa-eth net device driver.

All of this is fine, but the problem is that the struct device of the
dpaa_eth net_device is 2 parents away from the MAC which can be
referenced via of_node. So of_find_net_device_by_node can't find it, and
DSA switches won't be able to probe on top of FMan ports.

It would be a bit silly to modify a core function
(of_find_net_device_by_node) to look for dev->parent->parent->of_node
just for one driver. We're just 1 step away from implementing full
recursion.

On T1040, the /sys/class/net/eth0 symlink currently points to:

/sys/devices/platform/ffe000000.soc/ffe400000.fman/ffe4e6000.ethernet/dpaa-ethernet.0/net/eth0

which pretty much illustrates the problem. The closest of_node we've got
is the "fsl,fman-memac" at /soc@ffe000000/fman@400000/ethernet@e6000,
which is what we'd like to be able to reference from DSA as host port.

For of_find_net_device_by_node to find the eth0 port, we would need the
parent of the eth0 net_device to not be the "dpaa-ethernet" platform
device, but to point 1 level higher, aka the "fsl,fman-memac" node
directly. The new sysfs path would look like this:

/sys/devices/platform/ffe000000.soc/ffe400000.fman/ffe4e6000.ethernet/net/eth0

Actually this has worked before, through the SET_NETDEV_DEV mechanism,
which sets the parent of the net_device as the parent of the platform
device. But the device which was set as sysfs parent was inadvertently
changed through commit 060ad66f9795 ("dpaa_eth: change DMA device"),
which did not take into consideration the effect it would have upon
of_find_net_device_by_node. So restore the old sysfs parent to make that
work correctly.
