[PATCH net-next v3 2/4] net: dsa: mxl862xx: add SMDIO clause-22 register access

From: Daniel Golle

Date: Sun Jul 19 2026 - 23:15:39 EST


Add mxl862xx_smdio_read() and mxl862xx_smdio_write() for clause-22
SMDIO register access. MCUboot rescue mode only exposes clause-22
registers; the existing clause-45 MMD interface is unavailable during
firmware transfer. The MDIO bus lock is held per-transaction (not
across polls) so that SB PDI polling during flash erase does not
starve other non-switch users of the same MDIO bus, such as separate
PHYs providing WAN or management interfaces.

Unlike mxl862xx_api_wrap(), which takes the bus lock with
MDIO_MUTEX_NESTED because it can be entered from the accessors of
the switch-internal MDIO bus while that bus's lock of the same lock
class is already held, the SMDIO helpers take it with a plain
mutex_lock(). They are only called from probe and devlink flash
contexts where no other MDIO bus lock can be held.

v3: explain the plain mutex_lock() vs MDIO_MUTEX_NESTED choice in
the commit message

v2: clarify in the commit message that the per-transaction bus
locking is about unrelated non-switch devices on the same MDIO
bus (Andrew Lunn)
