Ohhhhhh, now I understand what you're trying to do, sorry, somehow I
was too tired and I thought of something totally unrelated.
Let me see if I can explain: you've got the INTF_SEL pin strapping
configured for something else (like RGMII to copper mode) and then
you're changing the operating mode at runtime through MDIO? Is this
intended to be for production code, or is it just some quick hack to
fix a bad board design?
I think what's supposed to happen (Heiner can comment) is that
genphy_config_init will automatically read the out-of-reset PHY
registers and figure out which link modes are supported. This includes
the 1000Base-X media type, *if* the PHY is strapped correctly.
But you are changing the strapping configuration too late (again, in
.config_init), so phylib doesn't pick up the new Base-X modes. What
happens if you do the switchover from the .probe callback of the
driver, instead of .config_init?
I think what got me confused was your "add support for 1000Base-X"
commit message. If I understand correctly, you're not adding support,
you're just forcing it.
Again, I don't think Linux has generic support for overwriting (or
even describing) the operating mode of a PHY, although maybe that's a
direction we would want to push the discussion towards. RGMII to
copper, RGMII to fiber, SGMII to copper, copper to fiber (media
converter), even RGMII to SGMII (RTL8211FS supports this) - lots of
modes, and this is only for gigabit PHYs...
