Hi Andy,
Or PHY Lib for U-Boot.
This sequence of patches adds infrastructure for universally-available PHY drivers (and MDIO drivers). It piggy-backs on the existing miiphy code, for backwards compatibility, but it also creates a new set of APIs. This was necessary partly to provide cleaner interfaces for more robust driver support, and partly because one goal was to support 10G (802.3 Clause 45) MDIO buses, which has an extra argument for addressing PHY registers.
The first three patches clear the way, and are in this sequence mostly because the tsec changes depend on them.
Special thanks goes to Mingkai Hu, who did a substantial amount of work up front to convert the tsec PHY code into something more usable, which I have mostly copied for the purposes of PHY Lib.
As the subject says, these are submitted here for comment. I hope they will go in for the presumptive June release.
Andy Fleming (5): Remove instances of phy_read/write Create PHY Lib for U-Boot Add mdio command for new PHY infrastructure phylib: Add a bunch of PHY drivers from tsec tsec: Convert tsec to use PHY Lib
Mingkai Hu (2): tsec: use IO accessories to access the register tsec: arrange the code to avoid useless function declaration
Thanks for this extensive work! Still the whole series has checkpatch problems, so please clean them up:
total: 29 errors, 95 warnings, 7792 lines checked
Some of them can be ignored, but some like this really need fixing:
ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line #206: FILE: drivers/net/tsec.c:243: + while ((in_be32(&phyregs->miimind) & MIIMIND_BUSY) && timeout--) ;
Cheers Detlev
