From c12db737cf62ca262c01ec6d4ba942b34db35d8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Oltean Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2019 19:45:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: phylink: add support for polling MAC PCS Some MAC PCS blocks are unable to provide interrupts when their status changes. As we already have support in phylink for polling status, use this to provide a hook for MACs to enable polling mode. The patch idea was picked up from Russell King's suggestion on the macb phylink patch thread here [0] but the implementation was changed. Instead of introducing a new phylink_start_poll() function, which would make the implementation cumbersome for common PHYLINK implementations for multiple types of devices, like DSA, just add a boolean property to the phylink_config structure, which is just as backwards-compatible. https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/16/603 Suggested-by: Russell King Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean [rebase] Signed-off-by: Yangbo Lu Conflicts: drivers/net/phy/phylink.c with upstream commit 24cf0e693bb5 ("net: phylink: split link_an_mode configured and current settings") submitted for net-next and merged during v5.5-rc1. --- Documentation/networking/sfp-phylink.rst | 3 ++- drivers/net/phy/phylink.c | 3 ++- include/linux/phylink.h | 2 ++ 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/Documentation/networking/sfp-phylink.rst +++ b/Documentation/networking/sfp-phylink.rst @@ -251,7 +251,8 @@ this documentation. phylink_mac_change(priv->phylink, link_is_up); where ``link_is_up`` is true if the link is currently up or false - otherwise. + otherwise.
