From 9b1d8588397a92e5a4da384575b56b5b889371ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxime Chevallier Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2024 17:43:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] doc: sfp-phylink: update the porting guide with PCS handling Now that phylink has a comprehensive PCS support, update the porting guide to explain the process of supporting the PCS configuration. This also removed outdated references to phylink_config fields that no longer exists.

Some Ethernet controllers work in pair with a PCS (Physical Coding Sublayer) + block, that can handle among other things the encoding/decoding, link + establishment detection and autonegotiation. While some MACs have internal + PCS whose operation is transparent, some other require dedicated PCS + configuration for the link to become functional. In that case, phylink + provides a PCS abstraction through :c:type:`struct phylink_pcs `. + + Identify if your driver has one or more internal PCS blocks, and/or if + your controller can use an external PCS block that might be internally + connected to your controller. + + If your controller doesn't have any internal PCS, you can go to step 11. + + If your Ethernet controller contains one or several PCS blocks, create + one :c:type:`struct phylink_pcs ` instance per PCS block within + your driver's private data structure: + + .. code-block:: c + + struct phylink_pcs pcs; + + Populate the relevant :c:type:`struct phylink_pcs_ops ` to + configure your PCS. Create a :c:func:`pcs_get_state` function that reports + the inband link state, a :c:func:`pcs_config` function to configure your + PCS according to phylink-provided parameters, and a :c:func:`pcs_validate` + function that report to phylink all accepted configuration parameters for + your PCS: + + .. code-block:: c + + struct phylink_pcs_ops foo_pcs_ops = { + .pcs_validate = foo_pcs_validate, + .pcs_get_state = foo_pcs_get_state, + .pcs_config = foo_pcs_config, + }; + + Arrange for PCS link state interrupts to be forwarded into + phylink, via: + + .. code-block:: c + + phylink_pcs_change(pcs, link_is_up); + + where ``link_is_up`` is true if the link is currently up or false + otherwise.

If your controller relies on, or accepts the presence of an external PCS + controlled through its own driver, add a pointer to a phylink_pcs instance + in your driver private data structure: + + .. code-block:: c + + struct phylink_pcs *pcs; + + The way of getting an instance of the actual PCS depends on the platform, + some PCS sit on an MDIO bus and are grabbed by passing a pointer to the + corresponding :c:type:`struct mii_bus ` and the PCS's address on + that bus.
