Hello Tim,

yes, you are right. It is not applied immediately. The link needs to be
toggled to get this settings active. But my experience shows that this
would be done in the further boot process anyway e.g. by restarting the
autonegotiation etc.


Martin,

I added a debug statement in xway_gphy_rgmii_init and here you can see
it gets called 'before' the link comes up from the NIC on a board that
has a cable plugged in at power-on. I can tell from testing that the
rx_delay/tx_delay set in xway_gphy_rgmii_init does not actually take
effect unless I then bring the link down and up again manually as you
indicate.

# dmesg | egrep "xway|nicvf"
[ 6.855971] xway_gphy_rgmii_init mdio_thunder MDI_MIICTRL:0xb100
rx_delay=1500 tx_delay=500
[ 6.999651] nicvf, ver 1.0
[ 7.002478] nicvf 0000:05:00.1: Adding to iommu group 7
[ 7.007785] nicvf 0000:05:00.1: enabling device (0004 -> 0006)

[ 11.044616] nicvf 0000:05:00.2 eth1: Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full duplex

If I add a 'genphy_soft_reset(phydev);' at the top of
xway_gphy_rgmii_init before the write to XWAY_MDIO_MIICTRL the values
do take effect so perhaps that's the proper fix.

OK, I see that we have to change something here.
But I would like to avoid a complete reset (BMCR_RESET) if possible.
How about this:
Before configuring the skews set BMCR_PDOWN using genphy_suspend(phydev)
and when we are done let's call genphy_resume(phydev).


I'm not fond of even using this phy driver either as it blatantly
forces LED configuration which may not agree with what boot firmware
does. I've noticed phy drivers starting to configure LED behavior more
and more but it seems like there should be dt bindings for that or
maybe an option to preserve the configuration that is set from boot
firmware.

There is already an approach which is used in openwrt [1] and which
Hauke tried to get into the kernel [2].

Interesting would be also a solution like this approach here [3].

But this is rather off-topic now.
