[net-next PATCH 2/6] net: pcs: Implement OF support for PCS driver

From: Christian Marangi
Date: Tue Mar 18 2025 - 20:01:12 EST


Implement the foundation of OF support for PCS driver.

To support this, implement a simple Provider API where a PCS driver can
expose multiple PCS with an xlate .get function.

PCS driver will have to call of_pcs_add_provider() and pass the device
node pointer and a xlate function to return the correct PCS for the
requested interface and the passed #pcs-cells.

This will register the PCS in a global list of providers so that
consumer can access it.

Consumer will then use of_pcs_get() to get the actual PCS by passing the
device_node pointer, the index for #pcs-cells and the requested
interface.

For simple implementation where #pcs-cells is 0 and the PCS driver
expose a single PCS, the xlate function of_pcs_simple_get() is
provided. In such case the passed interface is ignored and is expected
that the PCS supports any interface mode supported by the MAC.

For advanced implementation a custom xlate function is required. Such
function should return an error if the PCS is not supported for the
requested interface type.

This is needed for the correct function of of_phylink_mac_select_pcs()
later described.

PCS driver on removal should first call phylink_pcs_release() on every
PCS the driver provides and then correctly delete as a provider with
the usage of of_pcs_del_provider().

A generic function for .mac_select_pcs is provided for any MAC driver
that will declare PCS in DT, of_phylink_mac_select_pcs().
This function will parse "pcs-handle" property and will try every PCS
declared in DT until one that supports the requested interface type is
found. This works by leveraging the return value of the xlate function
returned by of_pcs_get() and checking if it's an ERROR or NULL, in such
case the next PCS in the phandle array is tested.

Some additional helper are provided for xlate functions,
pcs_supports_interface() as a simple function to check if the requested
interface is supported by the PCS and phylink_pcs_release() to release a
PCS from a phylink instance.
