[ Upstream commit 5fbb08eb7f ]
DSA has multiple ways of specifying a MAC connection to an internal PHY.
One requires a DT description like this:
port@0 {
reg = <0>;
phy-handle = <&internal_phy>;
phy-mode = "internal";
};
(which is IMO the recommended approach, as it is the clearest
description)
but it is also possible to leave the specification as just:
port@0 {
reg = <0>;
}
and if the driver implements ds->ops->phy_read and ds->ops->phy_write,
the DSA framework "knows" it should create a ds->slave_mii_bus, and it
should connect to a non-OF-based internal PHY on this MDIO bus, at an
MDIO address equal to the port address.
There is also an intermediary way of describing things:
port@0 {
reg = <0>;
phy-handle = <&internal_phy>;
};
In case 2, DSA calls phylink_connect_phy() and in case 3, it calls
phylink_of_phy_connect(). In both cases, phylink_create() has been
called with a phy_interface_t of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA, and in both
cases, PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA is translated into phy->interface.
It is important to note that phy_device_create() initializes
dev->interface = PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_GMII, and so, when we use
phylink_create(PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA), no one will override this, and we
will end up with a PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_GMII interface inherited from the
PHY.
All this means that in order to maintain compatibility with device tree
blobs where the phy-mode property is missing, we need to allow the
"gmii" phy-mode and treat it as "internal".
