Pass PHY driver pointer to .match_phy_device OP in addition to phydev.
Having access to the PHY driver struct might be useful to check the
PHY ID of the driver is being matched for in case the PHY ID scanned in
the phydev is not consistent.

A scenario for this is a PHY that change PHY ID after a firmware is
loaded, in such case, the PHY ID stored in PHY device struct is not
valid anymore and PHY will manually scan the ID in the match_phy_device
function.

Having the PHY driver info is also useful for those PHY driver that
implement multiple simple .match_phy_device OP to match specific MMD PHY
ID. With this extra info if the parsing logic is the same, the matching
function can be generalized by using the phy_id in the PHY driver
instead of hardcoding.

Rust wrapper callback is updated to align to the new match_phy_device
arguments.

<content type='text'>
The KSZ9477 PHY driver contained workarounds for broken EEE capability
advertisements by manually masking supported EEE modes and forcibly
disabling EEE if MICREL_NO_EEE was set.

With proper MAC-side EEE handling implemented via phylink, these quirks
are no longer necessary. Remove MICREL_NO_EEE handling and the use of
ksz9477_get_features().

This simplifies the PHY driver and avoids duplicated EEE management logic.

<title>net: ptp: introduce .supported_perout_flags to ptp_clock_info</title>

<content type='text'>
The PTP_PEROUT_REQUEST2 ioctl has gained support for flags specifying
specific output behavior including PTP_PEROUT_ONE_SHOT,
PTP_PEROUT_DUTY_CYCLE, PTP_PEROUT_PHASE.

Driver authors are notorious for not checking the flags of the request.
This results in misinterpreting the request, generating an output signal
that does not match the requested value. It is anticipated that even more
flags will be added in the future, resulting in even more broken requests.

Expecting these issues to be caught during review or playing whack-a-mole
after the fact is not a great solution.

Instead, introduce the supported_perout_flags field in the ptp_clock_info
structure. Update the core character device logic to explicitly reject any
request which has a flag not on this list.

This ensures that drivers must 'opt in' to the flags they support. Drivers
which don't set the .supported_perout_flags field will not need to check
that unsupported flags aren't passed, as the core takes care of this.

Update the drivers which do support flags to set this new field.

Note the following driver files set n_per_out to a non-zero value but did
not check the flags at all:

 • drivers/ptp/ptp_clockmatrix.c
 • drivers/ptp/ptp_idt82p33.c
 • drivers/ptp/ptp_fc3.c

<title>net: ptp: introduce .supported_extts_flags to ptp_clock_info</title>

<id>7c571ac57d9d97190dcba18212fabf99888b0c48</id>
<content type='text'>
The PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST(2) ioctl has a flags field which specifies how the
external timestamp request should behave. This includes which edge of the
signal to timestamp, as well as a specialized "offset" mode. It is expected
that more flags will be added in the future.

Driver authors routinely do not check the flags, often accepting requests
with flags which they do not support. Even drivers which do check flags may
not be future-proofed to reject flags not yet defined. Thus, any future
flag additions often require manually updating drivers to reject these
flags.

This approach of hoping we catch flag checks during review, or playing
whack-a-mole after the fact is the wrong approach.

Introduce the "supported_extts_flags" field to the ptp_clock_info
structure. This field defines the set of flags the device actually
supports.

Update the core character device logic to check this field and reject
unsupported requests. Getting this right is somewhat tricky. First, to
avoid unnecessary repetition and make basic functionality work when
.supported_extts_flags is 0, the core always accepts the PTP_ENABLE_FEATURE
flag. This flag is used to set the 'on' parameter to the .enable function
and is thus always 'supported' by all drivers.

For backwards compatibility, the PTP_RISING_EDGE and PTP_FALLING_EDGE flags
are merely "hints" when using the old PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl, and are not
expected to be enforced. If the user issues PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2, the
PTP_STRICT_FLAGS flag is added which is supposed to inform the driver to
strictly validate the flags and reject unsupported requests. To handle
this, first check if the driver reports PTP_STRICT_FLAGS support. If it
does not, then always allow the PTP_RISING_EDGE and PTP_FALLING_EDGE flags.
This keeps backwards compatibility with the original PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST
ioctl where these flags are not guaranteed to be honored.

This way, drivers which do not set the supported_extts_flags will continue
to accept requests for the original PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl. The core will
automatically reject requests with new flags, and correctly reject requests
with PTP_STRICT_FLAGS, where the driver is supposed to strictly validate
the flags.

Update the various drivers, refactoring their validation logic into the
.supported_extts_flags field. For consistency and readability,
PTP_ENABLE_FEATURE is not set in the supported flags list, and
PTP_EXTTS_EDGES is expanded to PTP_RISING_EDGE | PTP_FALLING_EDGE in all
cases.

Note the following driver files set n_ext_ts to a non-zero value but did
not check flags at all:

 • drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/dpaa2/dpaa2-ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/enetc/enetc_ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeontx2/nic/otx2_ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb_ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/rtsn.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/rtsn.h
 • drivers/net/ethernet/ti/am65-cpts.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpts.h
 • drivers/net/ethernet/ti/icssg/icss_iep.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/xscale/ptp_ixp46x.c
 • drivers/net/phy/bcm-phy-ptp.c
 • drivers/ptp/ptp_ocp.c
 • drivers/ptp/ptp_pch.c
 • drivers/ptp/ptp_qoriq.c

These drivers behavior does change slightly: they will now reject the
PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl, because they do not strictly validate their
flags. This also makes them no longer incorrectly accept PTP_EXT_OFFSET.

Also note that the renesas ravb driver does not support PTP_STRICT_FLAGS.
We could leave the .supported_extts_flags as 0, but I added the
PTP_RISING_EDGE | PTP_FALLING_EDGE since the driver previously manually
validated these flags. This is equivalent to 0 because the core will allow
these flags regardless unless PTP_STRICT_FLAGS is also set.

'struct mdio_device_id' is not modified in these drivers.

Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  27014	  12792	      0	  39806	   9b7e	drivers/net/phy/broadcom.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  27206	  12600	      0	  39806	   9b7e	drivers/net/phy/broadcom.o

Use helper phy_disable_eee() instead of setting phylib-internal bitmap
eee_broken_modes directly.

<title>net: phy: micrel: Dynamically control external clock of KSZ PHY</title>

<id>25c6a5ab151fb9c886552bf5aa7cbf2a5c6e96af</id>
<content type='text'>
On the i.MX6ULL-14x14-EVK board, enet1_ref and enet2_ref are used as the
clock sources for two external KSZ PHYs. However, after closing the two
FEC ports, the clk_enable_count of the enet1_ref and enet2_ref clocks is
not 0. The root cause is that since the commit 985329462723 ("net: phy:
micrel: use devm_clk_get_optional_enabled for the rmii-ref clock"), the
external clock of KSZ PHY has been enabled when the PHY driver probes,
and it can only be disabled when the PHY driver is removed. This causes
the clock to continue working when the system is suspended or the network
port is down.

Although Heiko explained in the commit message that the patch was because
some clock suppliers need to enable the clock to get the valid clock rate
, it seems that the simple fix is to disable the clock after getting the
clock rate to solve the current problem. This is indeed true, but we need
to admit that Heiko's patch has been applied for more than a year, and we
cannot guarantee whether there are platforms that only enable rmii-ref in
the KSZ PHY driver during this period. If this is the case, disabling
rmii-ref will cause RMII on these platforms to not work.

Secondly, commit 99ac4cbcc2a5 ("net: phy: micrel: allow usage of generic
ethernet-phy clock") just simply enables the generic clock permanently,
which seems like the generic clock may only be enabled in the PHY driver.
If we simply disable the generic clock, RMII may not work. If we keep it
as it is, the platform using the generic clock will have the same problem
as the i.MX6ULL platform.

To solve this problem, the clock is enabled when phy_driver::resume() is
called, and the clock is disabled when phy_driver::suspend() is called.
Since phy_driver::resume() and phy_driver::suspend() are not called in
pairs, an additional clk_enable flag is added. When phy_driver::suspend()
is called, the clock is disabled only if clk_enable is true. Conversely,
when phy_driver::resume() is called, the clock is enabled if clk_enable
is false.

The changes that introduced the problem were only a few lines, while the
current fix is about a hundred lines, which seems out of proportion, but
it is necessary because kszphy_probe() is used by multiple KSZ PHYs and
we need to fix all of them.
