[RFC v1 net-next 0/7] add support for ocelot external ports

From: Colin Foster
Date: Thu Feb 16 2023 - 02:53:47 EST


This is the start of part 3 of what is hopefully a 3-part series to add
Ethernet switching support to Ocelot chips.

Part 1 of the series (A New Chip) added general support for Ocelot chips
that were controlled externally via SPI.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220815005553.1450359-1-colin.foster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Part 2 of the series (The Ethernet Strikes Back) added DSA Ethernet
support for ports 0-3, which are the four copper ports that are internal
to the chip.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230127193559.1001051-1-colin.foster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Part 3 will, at a minimum, add support for ports 4-7, which are
configured to use QSGMII to an external phy (Return Of The QSGMII). With
any luck, and some guidance, support for SGMII, SFPs, etc. will also be
part of this series.


This patch series is absolutely an RFC at this point. While all 8 copper
ports on the VSC7512 are currently functional, I recognize there are a
couple empty function callbacks in the last patch that likely need to be
implemented.

Aside from that, there is feedback I'd greatly appreciate. Specifically
patch 6 ("net: dsa: felix: allow external parsing of port nodes") and
whether that is an acceptable way to solve the problem at hand.

Also, with patch 7 ("net: dsa: ocelot_ext: add support for external phys")
my basis was the function mscc_ocelot_init_ports(), but there were several
changes I had to make for DSA / Phylink. Are my implementations of
ocelot_ext_parse_port_node() and ocelot_ext_phylink_create() barking up
the right tree?
