[PATCH net-next v2 1/1] net: phy: dp83td510: add cable testing support
From: Oleksij Rempel
Date: Fri Jul 12 2024 - 11:29:12 EST
This patch implements the TDR test procedure as described in
"Application Note DP83TD510E Cable Diagnostics Toolkit revC", section 3.2.
The procedure was tested with "draka 08 signalkabel 2x0.8mm". The reported
cable length was 5 meters more for each 20 meters of actual cable length.
For instance, a 20-meter cable showed as 25 meters, and a 40-meter cable
showed as 50 meters. Since other parts of the diagnostics provided by this
PHY (e.g., Active Link Cable Diagnostics) require accurate cable
characterization to provide proper results, this tuning can be implemented
in a separate patch/interface.

+/* Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) Functionality of DP83TD510 PHY
+ *
+ * I assume that this PHY is using a variation of Spread Spectrum Time Domain
+ * Reflectometry (SSTDR) rather than the commonly used TDR found in many PHYs.
+ * Here are the following observations which likely confirm this:
+ * - The DP83TD510 PHY transmits a modulated signal of configurable length
+ * (default 16000 µs) instead of a single pulse pattern, which is typical
+ * for traditional TDR.
+ * - The pulse observed on the wire, triggered by the HW RESET register, is not
+ * part of the cable testing process.
+ *
+ * I assume that SSTDR seems to be a logical choice for the 10BaseT1L
+ * environment due to improved noise resistance, making it suitable for
+ * environments with significant electrical noise, such as long 10BaseT1L cable
+ * runs.
+ *
+ * Configuration Variables:
+ * The SSTDR variation used in this PHY involves more configuration variables
+ * that can dramatically affect the functionality and precision of cable
+ * testing. Since most of these configuration options are either not well
+ * documented or documented with minimal details, the following sections
+ * describe my understanding and observations of these variables and their
+ * impact on TDR functionality.
+ *
+ * Timeline:
+ * ,<--cfg_pre_silence_time
+ * | ,<-SSTDR Modulated Transmission
+ * | | ,<--cfg_post_silence_time
+ * | | | ,<--Force Link Mode
+ * |<--'-->|<-------'------->|<--'-->|<--------'------->|
+ *
+ * - cfg_pre_silence_time: Optional silence time before TDR transmission starts.
+ * - SSTDR Modulated Transmission: Transmission duration configured by
+ * cfg_tdr_tx_duration and amplitude configured by cfg_tdr_tx_type.
+ * - cfg_post_silence_time: Silence time after TDR transmission.
+ * - Force Link Mode: If nothing is configured after cfg_post_silence_time,
+ * the PHY continues in force link mode without autonegotiation.
