[PATCH net-next v3] net: dsa: mxl-gsw1xx: force internal PHYs into a known reset state

From: A. Sverdlin

Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 06:20:12 EST


From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When the switch is bootstrapped with PS_NOWAIT = 0, the internal PHYs
default to a held-in-reset state. The driver previously only worked with
PS_NOWAIT = 1 where PHYs are released from reset automatically.

Program the PHY reset lines via the RST_REQ register before the MDIO bus
is registered, so that PHY IDs can be read during bus scan. Release only
the PHYs of ports that have a phy-handle in the device tree and keep the
unused ones held in reset. Driving both directions makes the resulting
state identical regardless of the PS_NOWAIT bootstrap: unused PHYs no
longer stay powered when PS_NOWAIT = 1 released them automatically.

A single 300ms delay after deasserting the needed resets ensures the PHYs
are ready for MDIO communication (refer to Intel XWAY, Maxlinear GPY111
datasheets or the Lantiq counterpart of the driver). The delay is skipped
when no PHY is released from reset.
