[PATCH iwl-net v7 3/3] ice: add dpll peer notification for paired SMA and U.FL pins

From: Petr Oros

Date: Fri Apr 17 2026 - 11:05:47 EST


SMA and U.FL pins share physical signal paths in pairs (SMA1/U.FL1 and
SMA2/U.FL2). When one pin's state changes via a PCA9575 GPIO write,
the paired pin's state also changes, but no notification is sent for
the peer pin. Userspace consumers monitoring the peer via dpll netlink
subscribe never learn about the update.

Add ice_dpll_sw_pin_notify_peer() which sends a change notification for
the paired SW pin. Call it from ice_dpll_pin_sma_direction_set(),
ice_dpll_sma_pin_state_set(), and ice_dpll_ufl_pin_state_set() after
pf->dplls.lock is released. Use __dpll_pin_change_ntf() because
dpll_lock is still held by the dpll netlink layer (dpll_pin_pre_doit).

Fixes: 2dd5d03c77e2 ("ice: redesign dpll sma/u.fl pins control")
