net: phy: marvell: undo WoL setup when Wake-on-LAN is disabled

When all WoL options are cleared, m88e1318_set_wol() now clears
CSIER.WOL_EIE on the copper page and rewrites the LED[2]/INTn pin control
bits in page 3 register 0x12 (MII_88E1318S_PHY_LED_TCR), setting
INTn_ENABLE and INT_ACTIVE_LOW when phy_interrupt_is_valid() is true and
clearing them otherwise. FORCE_INT is always cleared.

Two questions below, one about the LED_TCR rewrite and one about missing
provenance metadata.

This describes a defect in released behaviour, but there is no Fixes: tag.

The leftover state comes from the original 88E1318S WoL support, commit
3871c3876f80 ("mv643xx_eth with 88E1318S: support Wake on LAN"), which
added m88e1318_set_wol() with the CSIER.WOL_EIE and LED[2]-as-INTn setup
and no matching teardown in the disable branch. m88e1318_set_wol() is the
.set_wol callback for both the 88E1318S and the 88E1510 entries.

Would it make sense to add:

Fixes: 3871c3876f80 ("mv643xx_eth with 88E1318S: support Wake on LAN")

or, if no backport is wanted, to state in the changelog that the residual
register state is cosmetic?

[Severity: High]

Can this de-mux an INTn pin that is still in use on PHY_MAC_INTERRUPT
devices?

phy_interrupt_is_valid() in include/linux/phy.h is false for both PHY_POLL
and PHY_MAC_INTERRUPT:

static inline bool phy_interrupt_is_valid(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
return phydev->irq != PHY_POLL && phydev->irq != PHY_MAC_INTERRUPT;
}

For PHY_MAC_INTERRUPT the PHY does drive its interrupt output, it is just
serviced by the MAC driver rather than by phylib. In that case this
__phy_modify() clears INTn_ENABLE (the LED[2] pin mux) and INT_ACTIVE_LOW
(the polarity), so the pin stops being the interrupt output.

Does anything put those bits back afterwards? m88e1318_config_init(),
which the 88E1510 reaches through m88e1510_config_init(), programs them
only in the interrupt-valid case:

static int m88e1318_config_init(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
if (phy_interrupt_is_valid(phydev)) {
int err = phy_modify_paged(
phydev, MII_MARVELL_LED_PAGE,
MII_88E1318S_PHY_LED_TCR,
MII_88E1318S_PHY_LED_TCR_FORCE_INT,
MII_88E1318S_PHY_LED_TCR_INTn_ENABLE |
MII_88E1318S_PHY_LED_TCR_INT_ACTIVE_LOW);
...

And PHY_MAC_INTERRUPT is not polled either, since marvell.c defines no
.update_stats and phy_polling_mode() then only returns true for PHY_POLL.
So link state changes would be neither interrupt-delivered nor polled
until the next config_init or hardware reset.

The block also runs for calls that never armed WoL at all, for example a
plain "ethtool -s ethX wol d" on a fresh interface, or a MAC driver
passing wolopts == 0 on shutdown or resume:

ethtool_set_wol() -> MAC .set_wol -> phy_ethtool_set_wol() ->
m88e1318_set_wol(wolopts == 0)

so the pin function can be changed on a device where this driver never
touched LED_TCR. The same applies to a LED_TCR value set by strap or
bootloader, or by the DT "marvell,reg-init" property, which
marvell_of_reg_init() applies as arbitrary <page reg mask value> tuples and
can legitimately target page 3 register 0x12.

Related to that, the changelog says the patch will "restore LED[2] to its
prior use", but the enable path only does:

/* Setup LED[2] as interrupt pin (active low) */
err = __phy_modify(phydev, MII_88E1318S_PHY_LED_TCR,
MII_88E1318S_PHY_LED_TCR_FORCE_INT,
MII_88E1318S_PHY_LED_TCR_INTn_ENABLE |
MII_88E1318S_PHY_LED_TCR_INT_ACTIVE_LOW);

with no read of the previous value, so the undo path writes an assumed
value rather than the prior one.

Would it work to read and save the INTn_ENABLE/INT_ACTIVE_LOW bits when
WoL is armed and write those saved bits back here, or alternatively to
restrict the undo to the bits this driver itself set?
