Hmm, interesting. So if I parse the above correctly, you have something like 88E1340S set up into a mode when SGMII is used as media interface and QSGMII as system interface (terms are from datasheet page 5), then you connect the media interface to armada-xp and system interface to the switch.
I wonder if it is the right thing to do. AFAIK you could as well set up armada-xp into QSGMII mode and connect that to switch. The driver would then disable the use of inband status and everything would be fine. Either way, your use-case proves that only DT can decide the use of an inband status. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
