[PATCH net-next] net: macb: In shared MDIO usecase make MDIO producer ethernet node to probe first

From: Radhey Shyam Pandey
Date: Tue Jun 28 2022 - 14:09:21 EST


In shared MDIO suspend/resume usecase for ex. with MDIO producer
(0xff0c0000) eth1 and MDIO consumer(0xff0b0000) eth0 there is a
constraint that ethernet interface(ff0c0000) MDIO bus producer
has to be resumed before the consumer ethernet interface(ff0b0000).

However above constraint is not met when GEM0(ff0b0000) is resumed first.
There is phy_error on GEM0 and interface becomes non-functional on resume.

suspend:
[ 46.477795] macb ff0c0000.ethernet eth1: Link is Down
[ 46.483058] macb ff0c0000.ethernet: gem-ptp-timer ptp clock unregistered.
[ 46.490097] macb ff0b0000.ethernet eth0: Link is Down
[ 46.495298] macb ff0b0000.ethernet: gem-ptp-timer ptp clock unregistered.

resume:
[ 46.633840] macb ff0b0000.ethernet eth0: configuring for phy/sgmii link mode
macb_mdio_read -> pm_runtime_get_sync(GEM1) it return -EACCES error.

The suspend/resume is dependent on probe order so to fix this dependency
ensure that MDIO producer ethernet node is always probed first followed
by MDIO consumer ethernet node.

During MDIO registration find out if MDIO bus is shared and check if MDIO
producer platform node(traverse by 'phy-handle' property) is bound. If not
bound then defer the MDIO consumer ethernet node probe. Doing it ensures
that in suspend/resume MDIO producer is resumed followed by MDIO consumer
ethernet node.

As an alternative to this defer probe approach i also explored using
devicelink framework in ndo_open and create a link between consumer and
producer and that solves suspend/resume issue but incase MDIO producer
probe fails MDIO consumer ethernet node remain non-functional. So a
simpler solution seem to defer MDIO consumer ethernet probe till all
dependencies are met.
