No, as I explained, the PPU (which is hardware inside the switch) takes care of keeping the switch port in sync with the internal PHY. > > I've also been able to change what is advertised just fine, and the > > link comes up as expected - in fact, I was running one of the switch > > ports at 10Mbps to one of my machines and using the 'scope on the > > ethernet signals over the weekend to debug a problem, which turned > > out to be broken RGMII clock delay timings. > > To recap, my setup features a Cadence GEM that is connected to a 88E1510 > PHY which is then connected to port 4 of the switch (which has an > internal PHY) through a transformer-less link.

So you have: switch port <--> internal switch PHY <--> 88E1510 <--> Cadence GEM and the switch will poll its internal PHY for the status of the link between the two PHYs. You should _not_ attach the 88E1510 to the switch port - it is on the Cadence side of the link, and it should be up to the Cadence end to manage that PHY, and not the switch side. This is not much different than the inter-PHY transformer-less link being a conventional RJ45 cable, except you want to operate the switch port in "CPU" mode so that management frames are forwarded out that link? > The setup works just fine in principle, I'm just struggling with a > correct way of configuring the drivers to allow that setting. Right, so this is something new, and a setup we haven't seen before, so likely it isn't supported. I wonder if the PPU is being turned off by the fact that the port is placed into "CPU" mode - I don't know off hand, I don't know the Marvell DSA code all that well to be able to pull that knowledge out of the top of my head, and I don't have time right now to read the code to find out - I'm supposed to be on a Zoom meeting as of 15 minutes ago. > I can control what is advertised on eth0, which is the GEM, and the PHY > there reports the correct link speed: > > > # ethtool -s eth0 advertise 0x008 > [ 79.573992] macb e000b000.ethernet eth0: Link is Down > [ 79.637048] mv88e6085 e000b000.ethernet-ffffffff:02: Link is Down > [ 81.221974] macb e000b000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 100Mbps/Full - > flow control off > [ 81.285639] mv88e6085 e000b000.ethernet-ffffffff:02: Link is Up - > 100Mbps/Full - flow control off > > However, the MAC in the switch is not changed by that, and it was forced > to 1 Gbit at probe time of the driver.

I think this is going to be something that will need discussion with the DSA folk, given that it's an entirely new setup that hasn't been catered for. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
