<content type='text'>
To initialize the taprio block in lan966x, it is required to configure
the register REVISIT_DLY. The purpose of this register is to set the
delay before revisit the next gate and the value of this register depends
on the system clock. The problem is that the we calculated wrong the value
of the system clock period in picoseconds. The actual system clock is
~165.617754MHZ and this correspond to a period of 6038 pico seconds and
not 15125 as currently set.

It seems that we are using a mutex in a atomic context which is wrong.
Change the mutex with a spinlock.

<title>net: sparx5/lan969x: fix flooding configuration on bridge join/leave</title>

<id>c9d1b0b54258ba13b567dd116ead3c7c30cba7d8</id>
<content type='text'>
The sparx5 driver programs UC/MC/BC flooding in sparx5_update_fwd() by
unconditionally applying bridge_fwd_mask to all flood PGIDs. Any bridge
topology change that triggers sparx5_update_fwd() (for example enslaving
another port) therefore reinstalls flooding in hardware for already
bridged ports, regardless of their per-port flood flags.

This results in clobbering of the flood masks, and desynchronization
between software and hardware: the bridge still reports “flood off” for
the port, but hardware has flooding enabled due to unconditional PGID
reprogramming.

Steps to reproduce:

    $ ip link add br0 type bridge
    $ ip link set br0 up
    $ ip link set eth0 master br0
    $ ip link set eth0 up
    $ bridge link set dev eth0 flood off
    $ ip link set eth1 master br0
    $ ip link set eth1 up

At this point, flooding is silently re-enabled for eth0. Software still
shows “flood off” for eth0, but hardware has flooding enabled.

To fix this, flooding is now set explicitly during bridge join/leave,
through sparx5_port_attr_bridge_flags():

    On bridge join, UC/MC/BC flooding is enabled by default.

    On bridge leave, UC/MC/BC flooding is disabled.

    sparx5_update_fwd() no longer touches the flood PGIDs, clobbering
    the flood masks, and desynchronizing software and hardware.

    Initialization of the flooding PGIDs have been moved to
    sparx5_start(). This is required as flooding PGIDs defaults to
    0x3fffffff in hardware and the initialization was previously handled
    in sparx5_update_fwd(), which was removed.

With this change, user-configured flooding flags persist across bridge
updates and are no longer overridden by sparx5_update_fwd().

<content type='text'>
Implement get_pauseparam() and set_pauseparam() ethtool operations for
Sparx5 ports.  This allows users to query and configure IEEE 802.3x
pause frame settings via:

ethtool -a ethX
ethtool -A ethX rx on|off tx on|off autoneg on|off

The driver delegates pause parameter handling to phylink through
phylink_ethtool_get_pauseparam() and phylink_ethtool_set_pauseparam().

The underlying configuration of pause frame generation and reception is
already implemented in the driver; this patch only wires it up to the
standard ethtool interface, making the feature accessible to userspace.

Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(), so modules could be properly autoloaded
based on the alias from spi_device_id table. While at this, fix
the misleading variable name (spidev is unrelated to this driver).

Introduce support for standard MII ioctl operations in the LAN865x
Ethernet driver by implementing the .ndo_eth_ioctl callback. This allows
PHY-related ioctl commands to be handled via phy_do_ioctl_running() and
enables support for ethtool and other user-space tools that rely on ioctl
interface to perform PHY register access using commands like SIOCGMIIREG
and SIOCSMIIREG.

This feature enables improved diagnostics and PHY configuration
capabilities from userspace.
