By default, DSA and CPU ports are configured to the maximum speed the
switch supports. However there can be use cases where the peer devices
port is slower. Allow a fixed-link property to be used with the DSA
and CPU port in the device tree, and use this information to configure
the port.

This kind of hack here because what you really need is just the link
parameters, but you cannot obtain such information without first
configuring the PHY up to a certain point in genphy_config_init(), and
then have genphy_read_status() copy these values in your phydev structure.

Maybe we should really consider something like this after all:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/5/490

Or maybe, we should really introduce this "cpu" network device after all
with a dropping xmit function, such that we get ethtool counters to work
on it, and we can also attach it to a PHY device to configure link
parameters?

Hi Florian

This half solves the problem. The nice thing about using the
fixed_link, is that i can just call the adjust_link function with it.
The fixed_phy_status cannot be passed directly to adjust_link. Some
code refactoring or duplication would be needed.

I keep humming and harring about this. I don't really like the idea of
having an interface which you cannot send/receive packets. Yet it
solves a number of problems like this, and gives you access to
statistics and registers in the usual way. If we do it for the CPU
port, we should also do it for the DSA ports. And we probably want the
call for up to return -ENOSUP, just to make it clear it cannot be used
for anything.

Right, and using an adjust_link callback seems a little cleaner anyway
since you get an abstracted PHY device to work with.

Right that would be my primary motivation and use case as well.

We should definitively start a separate thread for this, as there might
be real uses cases that are not yet covered that would need a network
device.

Let's go ahead with your patch for now:

BTW, this is really the reason why I was trying to push for having MDIO
connected switches as PHY devices, because then you get the PHY library
to calculate the advertised/supported intersection for you, and you
could even imagine re-negotiating the CPU port link with the Ethernet MAC.

Maybe I should repost these patches some day once I can get that working
with multiple switches in a tree ;)
