Sorry, this is my first time working on an Ethernet driver and I
misunderstood.
Sipeed only shares the schematic of the baseboard for the LPi4a [1].
There are pages for GMAC Ethernet0 and GMAC Ethernet1. Each shows 4 MDIO
differential pairs going into a SG4301G transformer.
I believe that RTL8211F-CG phy chips are on the LM4A SoM board which
contains the TH1520 SoC. Unfortunately, Sipeed does not provide a
schematic of the SoM so its hard for me to inspect how the phy chips are
wired up.
Vendor kernel [2] that Sipeed uses has:
mdio0 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
compatible = "snps,dwmac-mdio";
phy_88E1111_0: ethernet-phy@0 {
reg = <0x1>;
};
phy_88E1111_1: ethernet-phy@1 {
reg = <0x2>;
};
};
so I think that does mean they are on the same MDIO bus.

I tried to setup an nfs server with a rootfs on my local network. I can
mount it okay from my laptop so I think it is working okay. However, it
does not seem to work on the lpi4a [3]. It appears the rgmii-id
validation fails and the dwmac driver can not open the phy:
thead-dwmac ffe7060000.ethernet eth0: Register MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL RxQ-0
thead-dwmac ffe7060000.ethernet eth0: validation of rgmii-id with support \
00,00000000,00000000,00006280 and advertisementa \
00,00000000,00000000,00006280 failed: -EINVAL
thead-dwmac ffe7060000.ethernet eth0: __stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -22)
I suppose that this is what you were talking about that NFS will cause
the interface to be opened much faster.
Thanks,
Drew
