Can you look into adding support for the 8216 into
drivers/net/dsa/qca8k.c? You don't necessarily need to use QCA tags
(using DSA_PROTO_NONE works too) and this would be a good way to know
what could be missing in that driver, you'd also get per-port network
devices, which could all be driving their built-in PHYs (so ethtool and
friends work as expected).

I am not clear how you ran into that build failure, don't you select
PHYLIB? You still need PHYLIB even if you implement a MDIO device driver
for the switch.

Is the PHY just powered down by chance (BMCR_PWRDN set?) and resetting
it implicitly clears the power down that seems to be what is going on.

Keep in mind that MDIO address 16 is the switch's pseudo PHY address
here, so if you are telling PHYLIB to probe for that address and you
don't get the expected MII_PHYSID1/2 value in return, that usually means
that there was a PHY fixup registered to intercept these reads and make
us return the switch's unique identifier. Reading from the switch's
pseudo PHY at address 16 registers 2/3 (MII_PHYSID1/2) is not guaranteed
to return the switch's unique identifer.

With a MDIO device driver this won't happen because you will be probed
by address, and you can read any switch register you want to and from
there move on with the initialization.

Which you would get for free if you did extend qca8k to support the
8216, because qca8k does implicitly tell the DSA layer to register a
dsa_slave_mii_bus which will probe and attach to per-port built-in PHYs
and that happens only for the ports enabled on your specific board.

AFAICT there is no good way (without becoming too complex) to reset a
vector of PHYs and then just come back every 50ms or to see which ones
are reset or not.

NB: on some top of the rack switches, MDIO address 0 acts as a broadcast
address and you can use that feature to write to many, that still poses
the question of the read though which needs to be done for all PHYs to
know if the reset has completed.

My comment still stands, if you have two instances of this bus in a
system, the second will clash with the first one. You can just use
np->full_name or just use a driver private static index + bus->name to
create an unique enough name.

OK fair enough and that makes sense.
