From 9d3366e95dbbbdfe9bed488b483c47bd8f48cf04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Fainelli Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2015 12:24:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: bcmgenet: handle broken turn-around for specific PHYs Some Ethernet PHYs/switches such as Broadcom's BCM53125 have a hardware bug which makes them not release the MDIO line during turn-around time. This gets flagged by the GENET MDIO controller as a read failure, and we fail the read transaction. Check the MDIO bus phy_ignore_ta_mask bitmask for the PHY we are reading from and if it is listed in this bitmask, ignore the read failure and proceed with returning the data we read out of the controller.
