Tapio Reijonen 3037c2f6a9 net: dsa: microchip: enable the SGMII port of the KSZ9897S
The KSZ9897 has an SGMII/1000BASE-X capable port 7, but its chip_info
entry never set .sgmii_port. ksz_has_sgmii_port() is therefore false,
ksz9477_pcs_create() is never called and ksz9477_phylink_mac_select_pcs()
returns NULL for port 7, so a phy-mode = "sgmii" or "1000base-x" link on
that port cannot come up.

Only the KSZ9897S has that port; the KSZ9897R has a second RGMII port
instead. Both report chip ID 0x00989700, so the port cannot be enabled
from the chip ID alone, and enabling it unconditionally breaks the
KSZ9897R badly: ksz9477_setup() propagates the failure of
xpcs_create_pcs_mdiodev() on a part without an XPCS, so the switch as a
whole stops probing.

The variants do differ in the read-only bit 7 of the port 7 XMII control
0 register, which reads one on the KSZ9897S and zero on the KSZ9897R.
Compare the KSZ9897S data sheet DS00002394C section 5.2.4.1 with the
KSZ9897R data sheet DS00002330D section 5.2.3.1.

Read that bit in ksz_switch_register() and use it to select a KSZ9897S
chip_data entry, which is the KSZ9897 one plus .sgmii_port = 7, with
port 7 no longer marked as supporting MII, RMII and RGMII. On the
KSZ9897S that port is permanently an SGMII port and only its
differential pairs are brought out, so advertising the xMII modes on it
would let phylink accept a mode the driver never programs:
ksz_phylink_need_config() skips the XMII control registers for the SGMII
port. The KSZ9477, which also has SGMII on port 7, is described the same
way. See DS00002394C section 4.11.

KSZ9897S_CHIP_ID selects that chip_data entry and nothing else.
dev->chip_id keeps the KSZ9897 chip ID that both parts report, so no
other chip ID comparison has to know about the variant,
ksz_check_device_id() is unchanged, and a device tree naming the KSZ9897
keeps matching whichever part is fitted. No binding change is needed and
existing device trees keep working.

Tested on a KSZ9897S with a 1000BASE-LX fibre SFP on port 7: bit 7 of
the port 7 XMII control 0 register reads one, the switch is identified
as a KSZ9897S and the PCS is created. The port advertises
1000baseX/Full, clause 37 in-band autonegotiation completes against the
link partner, and the link comes up at 1Gbps/full duplex and passes
traffic.
