Re: [PATCH net-next v5 03/13] net: phy: phy_port: Correctly recompute the port's linkmodes

Le 05/02/2026 à 10:23, Maxime Chevallier a écrit :
a PHY-driven phy_port contains a 'supported' field containing the
linkmodes available on this port. This is populated based on :
- The PHY's reported features
- The DT representation of the connector
- The PHY's attach_mdi() callback

As these different attrbution methods work in conjunction, the helper
phy_port_update_supported() recomputes the final 'supported' value based
on the populated mediums, linkmodes and pairs.

However this recompute wasn't correctly implemented, and added more
modes than necessary by or'ing the medium-specific modes to the existing
support. Let's fix this and properly filter the modes.
