The first patch simply adds the VSC8502 to the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE, where I guess it was unintentionally missing. I have no hardware to test my change. The second patch adds the VSC8501 PHY with exactly the same driver implementation as the existing VSC8502. Note that for at least RGMII mode this patch is not sufficient to operate the PHY, but likely the existing code was not sufficient for VSC8502, either. The third patch fixes RGMII mode operation for the VSC8501 (I have tested this on hardware) and very likely also the VSC8502, which share the same description of relevant registers in the datasheet. https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/aemDocuments/documents/UNG/ProductDocuments/DataSheets/VSC8501-03_Datasheet_60001741A.PDF https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/aemDocuments/documents/UNG/ProductDocuments/DataSheets/VSC8502-03_Datasheet_60001742B.pdf Table 4-42 "RGMII CONTROL, ADDRESS 20E2 (0X14)" Bit 11 for each of them. By default the RX_CLK is disabled in both PHYs. This results in no received packets being handed to the MAC. The patch enables this clock. Since I can only test RGMII mode, and the register is called RGMII, my patch is limited to the RGMII mode. However, according to Microchip support (case number 01268776) this applies to all modes using the RX_CLK (which is all modes?). Since the VSC8502 shares the same description, this would however mean the existing code for VSC8502 could have never worked. Is that possible? Has someone used VSC8502 successfully? Other PHYs sharing the same basic code, like VSC8530/31/40/41 don't have the clock disabled and the bit 11 is reserved for them. Hence the check for PHY ID. Should the uncertainty about GMII and MII modes be a source code comment? Or in the commit message? Or not mentioned at all?
