[PATCH net v3 1/3] net: phy: dp83867: handle the active-high LED polarity mode
From: Donggeun Yoo
Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 07:01:40 EST
Commit a274465cc3be ("net: phy: support 'active-high' property for PHY
LEDs") added PHY_LED_ACTIVE_HIGH and made of_phy_led() set the matching
bit in the modes mask when a LED node carries the 'active-high'
property. dp83867 was not part of that series.
dp83867_led_polarity_set() only recognizes PHY_LED_ACTIVE_LOW, so
PHY_LED_ACTIVE_HIGH falls through to the default case and returns -EINVAL.
of_phy_led() propagates the error, of_phy_leds() drops the LEDs registered
so far and passes it on, and phy_probe() returns it. A device tree marking
a DP83867 LED as 'active-high', which leds/common.yaml allows and
ethernet-phy.yaml references for led@N nodes, thus leaves the mdio device
unbound, so phy_attach_direct() falls back to the genphy driver: the PHY
comes up without its DP83867 configuration and loses the RGMII internal
delay setup.
Active high is what the function programs when no polarity mode is
requested at all, so the initial value of polarity already satisfies the
request and only the case label is missing.
