[PATCH net-next v6 1/7] net: phylink: use act_link_an_mode to determine PHY

From: Choong Yong Liang
Date: Tue Feb 04 2025 - 01:11:40 EST


When the interface mode is SGMII and act_link_an_mode is MLO_AN_INBAND,
switching to the 2500BASE-X interface mode will trigger
phylink_major_config, and act_link_an_mode will be updated to MLO_AN_PHY
in phylink_pcs_neg_mode when the PCS does not support in-band mode.
The MAC and PCS will configure according to the interface mode
and act_link_an_mode.

However, when the interface goes link down and then link up again, the MAC
will attempt to attach the PHY. The interface mode remains as 2500BASE-X,
but cfg_link_an_mode still holds MLO_AN_INBAND. This causes a failure to
attach the PHY.

This patch uses act_link_an_mode to determine if there is a PHY to attach.
