net: phy: qcom: at803x: Use the correct bit to disable extended next page

2026-04-13T21:36:22+00:00

As noted in the blamed commit, the AR8035 and other PHYs from this family advertise the Extended Next Page support by default, which may be understood by some partners as this PHY being multi-gig capable. The fix is to disable XNP advertising, which is done by setting bit 12 of the Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register (MII_ADVERTISE). The blamed commit incorrectly uses MDIO_AN_CTRL1_XNP, which is bit 13 as per 802.3 : 45.2.7.1 AN control register (Register 7.0) BIT 12 in MII_ADVERTISE is wrapped by ADVERTISE_RESV, used by some drivers such as the aquantia one. 802.3 Clause 28 defines bit 12 as Extended Next Page ability, at least in recent versions of the standard. Let's add a define for it and use it in the at803x driver.

net: phy: at803x: Support SFP through phy_port interface

2026-01-14T02:52:35+00:00

Convert the at803x driver to use the generic phylib SFP handling, via a dedicated .attach_port() callback, populating the supported interfaces. As these devices are limited to 1000BaseX, a workaround is used to also support, in a very limited way, copper modules. This is done by supporting SGMII but limiting it to 1G full duplex (in which case it's somewhat compatible with 1000BaseX).

Move the WoL (Wake-on-LAN) functionality to a shared library to enable its reuse by the QCA808X PHY driver, incorporating support for WoL functionality similar to the implementation in at8031_set_wol().

net: phy: qcom: at803x: Add Qualcomm IPQ5018 Internal PHY support

2025-06-23T18:14:05+00:00

The IPQ5018 SoC contains a single internal Gigabit Ethernet PHY which provides an MDI interface directly to an RJ45 connector or an external switch over a PHY to PHY link. The PHY supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T link modes in SGMII interface mode, CDT, auto-negotiation and 802.3az EEE. Let's add support for this PHY in the at803x driver as it falls within the Qualcomm Atheros OUI.

net: phy: add helpers to handle sfp phy connect/disconnect

2024-08-23T12:04:34+00:00

There are a few PHY drivers that can handle SFP modules through their sfp_upstream_ops. Introduce Phylib helpers to keep track of connected SFP PHYs in a netdevice's namespace, by adding the SFP PHY to the upstream PHY's netdev's namespace. By doing so, these SFP PHYs can be enumerated and exposed to users, which will be able to use their capabilities.
