While we sort out the real technical details, it is OK to go back to pr_debug please - print_once or some such ! There is lot of useless console noise when we run any networking loads here ! echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk only helps in that it is not printed on console but clobbers dmesg nonetheless !

Hm, so I took a look at what am I reading from "Register 22 (HW Feature Register)" in dwmac1000_get_hw_feature() and was really surprised to see the register value = 0x100509bf. See bit 6 "PCSSEL" is zeroed which stands for "PCS registers (TBI, SGMII, or RTBI PHY interface)". I.e. PCS doesn't exist in our GMAC so most of the previous comments below should be discarded. > > I kindly ask you to verify if this is your setup or if you > > do not want to use it.

So it all really boils down to the following problem: Link state reported via "Register 54 (SGMII/RGMII/SMII Control and Status Register)" doesn't match status read via MDIO from the PHY. That's why my initial proposal was to ignore whatever we read from this register if we have MDIO bus instantiated already. -Alexey

I already submitted another solution which IMHO is much cleaner and appropriate, see David has it already in master tree here: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=0a764db103376cf69d04449b10688f3516cc0b88 -Alexey
