How come the existing divider cannot work with 100Mbit external PHY(assuming external regulator pin as properly enabled) since it works with 1Gbit already? Jagan.

Because it's far too high to be MDIO spec compliant. My guess is that some PHYs (for instance the RTL8211 used on most boards with GBit Ethernet) can cope with that, but apparently that's too much for the RTL8201 on the Pine64. I would say that most boards have either an external GBit PHY or use the internal PHY for 100MBit, so there are not many boards using the sun8i EMAC with an 8201 PHY, that's why nobody complained so far. At least this is my best guess, based on the observation that this patch makes the difference between Ethernet working or not on the Pine64 (non-plus). Cheers, Andre.

When sending a command via the MDIO bus, the Designware MAC expects some bits in the CMD register to describe the clock divider value between the main clock and the MDIO clock. So far we were omitting these bits, resulting in setting "00", which means "/ 16", so ending up with an MDIO frequency of either 18.75 or 12.5 MHz. All the internal PHYs in the H3/H5/H6 SoCs as well as the Gbit Realtek PHYs seem to be fine with that - although it looks like to be severly overclocked (the MDIO spec limits the frequency to 2.5 MHz). However the external 100Mbit PHY on the Pine64 (non-plus) board is not happy with that, Ethernet was actually never working there, as the PHY didn't probe. As we set the EMAC clock (via AHB2) to 300 MHz in ATF (on the 64-bit SoCs), and use 200 MHz on the H3, we need the highest divider of 128 to let the MDIO clock end up below the required 2.5 MHz. This enables Ethernet on the Pine64(non-plus). Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@arm.com> --- drivers/net/sun8i_emac.c | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+)
