Commit 7ae7ad2f11ef47 ("net: phy: smsc: use phy_read_poll_timeout() to simplify the code") will print a lot of logs as follows when Ethernet cable is not connected:
[ 4.473105] SMSC LAN8710/LAN8720 2188000.ethernet-1:00: lan87xx_read_status failed: -110 The commit will change the original behavior in smsc driver. It does not has any error message whether it is timeout or phy_read() fails, but this commit will changed it and print some error messages by phy_read_poll_timeout() when it is timeout or phy_read() fails. so use the read_poll_timeout() function to replace phy_read_poll_timeout() for fix this issue. the read_poll_timeout() function does not print any log when it goes wrong. the original codes is that: /* Wait max 640 ms to detect energy */ for (i = 0; i < 64; i++) { /* Sleep to allow link test pulses to be sent */ msleep(10); rc = phy_read(phydev, MII_LAN83C185_CTRL_STATUS); if (rc < 0) return rc; if (rc & MII_LAN83C185_ENERGYON) break; } the commit 7ae7ad2f11ef47 ("net: phy: smsc: use phy_read_poll_timeout() to simplify the code") modify it as this: phy_read_poll_timeout(phydev, MII_LAN83C185_CTRL_STATUS, rc & MII_LAN83C185_ENERGYON, 10000, 640000, true); if (rc < 0) return rc; the phy_read_poll_timeout() will print a error log by phydev_err() when timeout or rc < 0. read_poll_timeout() just return timeout error and does not print any error log. #define phy_read_poll_timeout(phydev, regnum, val, cond, sleep_us, \ timeout_us, sleep_before_read) \ ({ \ int __ret = read_poll_timeout(phy_read, val, (cond) || val < 0, \ sleep_us, timeout_us, sleep_before_read, phydev, regnum); \ if (val < 0) \ __ret = val; \ if (__ret) \ phydev_err(phydev, "%s failed: %d\n", __func__, __ret); \ __ret; \ }) So use read_poll_timeout() to replace phy_read_poll_timeout() for be consistent with the original code and fix this issue.
