4 MDIO bus and PHYs in ACPI
5 =========================
7 The PHYs on an MDIO bus [phy] are probed and registered using
8 fwnode_mdiobus_register_phy().
10 Later, for connecting these PHYs to their respective MACs, the PHYs registered
11 on the MDIO bus have to be referenced.
13 This document introduces two _DSD properties that are to be used
14 for connecting PHYs on the MDIO bus [dsd-properties-rules] to the MAC layer.
16 These properties are defined in accordance with the "Device
17 Properties UUID For _DSD" [dsd-guide] document and the
18 daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301 UUID must be used in the Device
19 Data Descriptors containing them.
23 For each MAC node, a device property "phy-handle" is used to reference
24 the PHY that is registered on an MDIO bus. This is mandatory for
25 network interfaces that have PHYs connected to MAC via MDIO bus.
27 During the MDIO bus driver initialization, PHYs on this bus are probed
28 using the _ADR object as shown below and are registered on the MDIO bus.
43 Later, during the MAC driver initialization, the registered PHY devices
44 have to be retrieved from the MDIO bus. For this, the MAC driver needs
45 references to the previously registered PHYs which are provided
46 as device object references (e.g. \_SB.MDI0.PHY1).
50 The "phy-mode" _DSD property is used to describe the connection to
51 the PHY. The valid values for "phy-mode" are defined in [ethernet-controller].
55 Optional property, which specifies the PHY management type.
56 The valid values for "managed" are defined in [ethernet-controller].
60 The "fixed-link" is described by a data-only subnode of the
61 MAC port, which is linked in the _DSD package via
62 hierarchical data extension (UUID dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b
63 in accordance with [dsd-guide] "_DSD Implementation Guide" document).
64 The subnode should comprise a required property ("speed") and
65 possibly the optional ones - complete list of parameters and
66 their values are specified in [ethernet-controller].
68 The following ASL example illustrates the usage of these properties.
70 DSDT entry for MDIO node
71 ------------------------
73 The MDIO bus has an SoC component (MDIO controller) and a platform
74 component (PHYs on the MDIO bus).
77 This node describes the MDIO controller, MDI0
78 ---------------------------------------------
88 Name(_CRS, ResourceTemplate() {
89 Memory32Fixed(ReadWrite, MDI0_BASE, MDI_LEN)
90 Interrupt(ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveHigh, Shared)
94 }) // end of _CRS for MDI0
99 The PHY1 and PHY2 nodes represent the PHYs connected to MDIO bus MDI0
100 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
115 DSDT entries representing MAC nodes
116 -----------------------------------
118 Below are the MAC nodes where PHY nodes are referenced.
119 phy-mode and phy-handle are used as explained earlier.
