Subject: RE: [EXT] [PATCH net-next v2] net: ethernet: fec: Prevent MII event
 after MII_SPEED write

From: Andrew Lunn <andrew@...n.ch> Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2020 4:53 AM
> The change to polled IO for MDIO completion assumes that MII events are
> only generated for MDIO transactions. However on some SoCs writing to the
> MII_SPEED register can also trigger an MII event. As a result, the next MDIO
> read has a pending MII event, and immediately reads the data registers
> before it contains useful data. When the read does complete, another MII
> event is posted, which results in the next read also going wrong, and the cycle
> continues.
> 
> By writing 0 to the MII_DATA register before writing to the speed register, this
> MII event for the MII_SPEED is suppressed, and polled IO works as expected.

> v2 - Only infec_enet_mii_init()

> polled IO")
