says: ==================== net: phy: bcm54811: PHY initialization Proper bcm54811 PHY driver initialization for MII-Lite. The bcm54811 PHY in MLP package must be setup for MII-Lite interface mode by software. Normally, the PHY to MAC interface is selected in hardware by setting the bootstrap pins of the PHY. However, MII and MII-Lite share the same hardware setup and must be distinguished by software, setting appropriate bit in a configuration register. The MII-Lite interface mode is non-standard one, defined by Broadcom for some of their PHYs. The MII-Lite lightness consist in omitting RXER, TXER, CRS and COL signals of the standard MII interface. Absence of COL them makes half-duplex links modes impossible but does not interfere with Broadcom's BroadR-Reach link modes, because they are full-duplex only. To do it in a clean way, MII-Lite must be introduced first, including its limitation to link modes (no half-duplex), because it is a prerequisite for the patch #3 of this series. The patch #4 does not depend on MII-Lite directly but both #3 and #4 are necessary for bcm54811 to work properly without additional configuration steps to be done - for example in the bootloader, before the kernel starts. PATCH 1 - Add MII-Lite PHY interface mode as defined by Broadcom for their two-wire PHYs. It can be used with most Ethernet controllers under certain limitations (no half-duplex link modes etc.). PATCH 2 - Add MII-Lite PHY interface type PATCH 3 - Activation of MII-Lite interface mode on Broadcom bcm5481x PHYs PATCH 4 - Initialize the BCM54811 PHY properly so that it conforms to the datasheet regarding a reserved bit in the LRE Control register, which must be written to zero after every device reset. Ignore the LDS capability bit in LRE Status register on bcm54811. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250708090140.61355-1-kamilh@axis.com Signed-off-by:Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
