Jakub Kicinski a0bd756087 Merge branch 'net-phy-add-x-powers-ac200-ac300-ephy-support'
James Hilliard says:

====================
net: phy: add X-Powers AC200/AC300 EPHY support

This submission contains only the networking binding and PHY driver and
is intended for net-next. The AC200 I2C register provider was submitted
separately for the MFD tree:

  https://patch.msgid.link/20260907-submit-ac200-mfd-v11-0-58dd9dc7f69a@gmail.com

The two series can build and be merged independently. AC300 needs only the
networking series. The AC200 runtime path additionally needs the separately
submitted MFD provider and binding. Their shared design point is the DT
representation: the MDIO PHY-package node references the AC200 I2C node for
access to package-control registers.

The AC200 and AC300 contain compatible Fast Ethernet link PHYs which
report the same Clause 22 identifier and use the same link-side register
layout. The link endpoint is inaccessible until package-specific control
registers have powered and configured it.

Both variants are modeled as standard Ethernet PHY packages with one
forced-ID link-PHY child. The package reg value is the link address.
AC300's control range is a fixed package-relative offset of 16 and is
accessed with the PHY package helpers. AC200 reaches its control registers
through a phandle to the companion IC's I2C register interface.

For AC200, the driver resolves the referenced I2C device, establishes a
managed device link, and takes the supplier device lock before checking
that the provider is fully bound and retrieving the regmap attached to
that device. It waits for transient lock holders instead of treating lock
contention as a missing dependency. The link then keeps the provider bound
until the PHY consumer has unbound. This uses the generic device and
regmap interfaces and supports multiple AC200 instances without syscon or
a private cross-subsystem API.

Fixed hardware uses an AC200- or AC300-specific package compatible.
Systems which can contain either package use the ACx00 package compatible
and one packed SID configuration field. Bits 3 through 0 carry the analog
calibration, bit 8 selects AC300, and bit 9 selects its low-calibration
tuning. The driver chooses the backend before acquiring any
backend-specific resource.

One xpowers-acx00 module binds the link child, joins the parent package and
runs the selected backend. It manages the package supply, MII or RMII mode,
vendor analog initialization and package state across suspend and resume.
The common link implementation preserves automatic MDI/MDI-X and standard
MAC-managed EEE advertisement while disabling only the vendor
PHY-autonomous Intelligent EEE mode. A private mutex serializes
package state across phylib callback contexts, while suspend recovery
also holds the phylib lock.

The two patches add the AC200/AC300 PHY-package binding and combined PHY
driver. Board Device Trees and optional PHY features remain outside this
initial series.

The AC200 portions build on earlier work by Jernej Skrabec and Andre
Przywara:
