Hi,
This is the result of this discussion: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/240354b0a54b37e8b5764773711b8aa3@walle.cc/
The goal here is to get the GYP215 and LAN8814 running on the Microchip LAN9668 SoC. The LAN9668 suppports one external bus and unfortunately, the LAN8814 has a bug which makes it impossible to use C45 on that bus. Fortunately, it was the intention of the GPY215 driver to be used on a C22 bus. But I think this could have never really worked, because the phy_get_c45_ids() will always do c45 accesses and thus on MDIO bus drivers which will correctly check for the MII_ADDR_C45 flag and return -EOPNOTSUPP the function call will fail and thus gpy_probe() will fail. This series tries to fix that and will lay the foundation to add a workaround for the LAN8814 bug by forcing an MDIO bus to be c22-only.
At the moment, the probe_capabilities is taken into account to decide if we have to use C45-over-C22. What is still missing from this series is the handling of a device tree property to restrict the probe_capabilities to c22-only.
Since net-next is closed, this is marked as RFC to get some early feedback.
Changes since RFC v1: - use __phy_mmd_indirect() in mdiobus_probe_mmd_read() - add new properties has_c45 c45_over_c22 (and remove is_c45) - drop MDIOBUS_NO_CAP handling, Andrew is preparing a series to add probe_capabilities to mark all C45 capable MDIO bus drivers
