Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next v2 04/35] [RFC] phy: fsl: Add Lynx 10G SerDes
 driver


Hi Sean,

I am in the process of adding the necessary configuration for this
driver to work on a LS1088A based board. At the moment, I can see that
the lane's PLL is changed depending on the SFP module plugged, I have a
CDR lock but no PCS link.

I'll let you know when I get to the bottom of this.

I didn't go through the driver in detail but added some comments below.

I am not 100% sure that different compatible strings are needed for each
SerDes block. I know that in the 'supported SerDes options' tables only
a certain list of combinations are present, different for each block.
Even with this, I find it odd to believe that, for example, SerDes block
2 from LS1046A was instantiated so that it does not support any Ethernet
protocols.

I'll ask around to see if indeed this happens.

These file names have to be changed as well.

Did you test these protocols?

I would be much more comfortable if we only add to the supported
protocols list what was tested.

Am I understanding correctly that if you encounter a protocol which is
not supported (PCIe, SATA) both PLLs will not be capable of changing,
right?

Why aren't you just getting exclusivity on the PLL that is actually used
by a lane configured with a protocol which the driver does not support?

Hmmm, do you need this?

Wouldn't it be better to just leave the lane untouched (as it was setup
by the RCW) just in case the lane is not requested by a consumer driver
but actually used in practice. I am referring to the case in which some
ethernet nodes have the 'phys' property, some don't.

If you really need this, maybe you can move it in the phy_init callback.

This means that you are powering-off any lane, PCIe/SATA lanes
which are not integrated with this driver at all, right?.
I don't think we want to break stuff that used to be working.

Please change the driver's name as well.
