[RFC net-next v2 3/6] ethtool: add CMIS loopback helpers for module loopback control
From: Björn Töpel
Date: Sun Mar 08 2026 - 08:43:23 EST
Add CMIS loopback functions and wire them into loopback.c for the
MODULE component:
- ethtool_cmis_get_loopback(): reads Page 13h capabilities and
current state, appends one entry per supported loopback point
("cmis-host" and/or "cmis-media").
- ethtool_cmis_set_loopback_one(): resolves name to a pair of control
byte indices, validates direction, and writes the Page 13h control
bytes (0xFF = all lanes on, 0x00 = off).
Directions are mutually exclusive: switching from near-end to far-end
first disables the active direction in a separate EEPROM write, then
enables the new one. Requesting multiple direction flags is rejected.
CMIS register mapping (Page 13h, Bytes 180-183):
- MODULE, "cmis-host", near-end -> Host Side Input (Byte 183)
- MODULE, "cmis-host", far-end -> Host Side Output (Byte 182)
- MODULE, "cmis-media", near-end -> Media Side Input (Byte 181)
- MODULE, "cmis-media", far-end -> Media Side Output (Byte 180)
The helpers work entirely over get/set_module_eeprom_by_page, so any
driver with EEPROM page access gets module loopback without new
ethtool_ops or driver changes. SET is rejected when firmware flashing
is in progress or the interface is UP.
