[PATCH net-next V4 1/2] net: phylink: add a function to resume PHY alone to fix resume issue with WoL enabled

From: Clark Wang
Date: Wed Feb 22 2023 - 04:35:56 EST


Issue we met:
On some platforms, MAC cannot work after resumed from the suspend with WoL
enabled.

The cause of the issue:
1. phylink_resolve() is in a workqueue which will not be executed immediately.
This is the call sequence:
phylink_resolve()->phylink_link_up()->pl->mac_ops->mac_link_up()
For stmmac driver, mac_link_up() will set the correct speed/duplex...
values which are from link_state.
2. In stmmac_resume(), it will call stmmac_hw_setup() after called the
phylink_resume(), because MAC need PHY rx_clk to do the reset.
stmmac_core_init() is called in function stmmac_hw_setup(), which will
reset the MAC and set the speed/duplex... to default value.
Conclusion: Because phylink_resolve() cannot determine when it is called, it
cannot be guaranteed to be called after stmmac_core_init().
Once stmmac_core_init() is called after phylink_resolve(),
the MAC will be misconfigured and cannot be used.

In order to avoid this problem, add a function called phylink_phy_resume()
to resume PHY separately. This eliminates the need to call phylink_resume()
before stmmac_hw_setup().

Add another judgement before called phy_start() in phylink_start(). This way
phy_start() will not be called multiple times when resumes. At the same time,
it may not affect other drivers that do not use phylink_phy_resume().

V2 change:
- add mac_resume_phy_separately flag to struct phylink to mark if the MAC
driver uses the phylink_phy_resume() first.
V3 change:
- add brace to avoid ambiguous 'else'
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
V4:
Many thanks to Jakub and Russel for their suggestions, here are the changes for V4.
- Unify MAC and PHY in comments and subject to uppercase.
- Add subject of the sentence.
- Move && to the end of the line
- Add notice in the comment of function phylink_phy_resume()
