net: phy: add generic helpers for direct C45 MMD access

2026-07-21T08:53:24+00:00

Some PHYs support direct C45 register access but not C22 indirect MMD
access (registers 0xD and 0xE). When discovered via C22, phylib routes
MMD access through the indirect path, which won't work on these
devices.

Add genphy_read_mmd_c45() and genphy_write_mmd_c45() as read_mmd/
write_mmd callbacks that bypass the C22 indirect path and use the bus
C45 accessors directly.

net: ethtool: make dev->hwprov ops-protected

2026-06-09T17:13:04+00:00

dev->hwprov tracks the active hwtstamp provider for the device.
Make it ops protected (instance lock if the netdev driver opts
into holding instance lock around callbacks, otherwise rtnl_lock).

hwprov is written and read in:
 - drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c
    phydev and ops protection don't currently mix, add a comment
 - net/ethtool/
    as of now holds both rtnl lock and ops lock, this one will
    soon only hold one lock or the other

read in:
 - net/core/dev_ioctl.c
    holds both rtnl lock and ops lock
 - net/core/timestamping.c
    RCU reader

The new netdev_ops_lock_dereference() helper does not have
"compat" in the name. The name would be quite long and I think
in this case it should be obvious that we need _a_ lock.
netdev_lock_dereference() already exists and means dev->lock
is always expected.

net: phy: don't try to setup PHY-driven SFP cages when using genphy

2026-06-09T00:43:27+00:00

We don't have support for PHY-driver SFP cages with the genphy code.

On top of that, it was found by sashiko that running
sfp_bus_add_upstream() for genphy deadlocks, as for genphy the PHY
probing runs under RTNL, which isn't the case for non-genphy drivers.

This problem was reproduced, and does lead to a deadlock on RTNL.

Before the blamed commit, the phy_sfp_probe() call was made by
individual PHY drivers, so there was no way to get to the SFP probing
path when using genphy.

Let's therefore only run phy_sfp_probe when not using genphy.

net: phy: Clean the phy_ports after unregistering the downstream SFP bus

2026-06-09T00:43:27+00:00

As reported by sashiko when looking a other patches, we need to ensure
that the downstream SFP bus gets unregistered prior to destroying the
phy_ports attached to a phy_device, as the SFP code may reference these
ports. Let's make sure we follow that ordering in phy_remove().

net: phy: clean the sfp upstream if phy probing fails

2026-06-09T00:43:27+00:00

Sashiko reported that we don't call sfp_bus_del_upstream() in the probe
failure path, so let's add it, otherwise the sfp-bus is left with a
dangling 'upstream' field, that may be used later on during SFP events.

This issue existed before the generic phylib sfp support, back when
drivers were calling phy_sfp_probe themselves.

net: phy: honor eee_disabled_modes in phy_advertise_eee_all()

2026-05-20T01:45:26+00:00

phy_advertise_eee_all() copies supported_eee into advertising_eee
unconditionally, overwriting any filtering applied during phy_probe()
based on DT eee-broken-* properties or driver-populated
eee_disabled_modes. genphy_c45_ethtool_set_eee() calls this helper
when user space passes an empty advertisement, undoing the filtering.

Apply the same eee_disabled_modes mask in phy_advertise_eee_all() so
the filtering survives the copy, matching the pattern in phy_probe()
and phy_support_eee().

net: phy: honor eee_disabled_modes in phy_support_eee()

2026-05-20T01:45:26+00:00

phy_support_eee() copies supported_eee into advertising_eee
unconditionally, overwriting any filtering applied during phy_probe()
based on DT eee-broken-* properties or driver-populated
eee_disabled_modes. MAC drivers that call phy_support_eee() after
probe (e.g. bcmgenet, fec, lan743x, lan78xx, r8169) then cause the PHY
to advertise EEE for modes the user marked as broken.

The symptom is that ethtool --show-eee on the local interface reports
"not supported" (supported & ~eee_disabled_modes is empty) while the
link partner sees EEE negotiated and active.

phy_probe() already filters advertising_eee via eee_disabled_modes
after calling of_set_phy_eee_broken(). Apply the same mask in
phy_support_eee() so the filtering survives the copy.
