- =========================
- MDIO bus and PHYs in ACPI
- =========================
- The PHYs on an MDIO bus [phy] are probed and registered using
- fwnode_mdiobus_register_phy().
- Later, for connecting these PHYs to their respective MACs, the PHYs registered
- on the MDIO bus have to be referenced.
- This document introduces two _DSD properties that are to be used
- for connecting PHYs on the MDIO bus [dsd-properties-rules] to the MAC layer.
- These properties are defined in accordance with the "Device
- Properties UUID For _DSD" [dsd-guide] document and the
- daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301 UUID must be used in the Device
- Data Descriptors containing them.
- phy-handle
- ----------
- For each MAC node, a device property "phy-handle" is used to reference
- the PHY that is registered on an MDIO bus. This is mandatory for
- network interfaces that have PHYs connected to MAC via MDIO bus.
- During the MDIO bus driver initialization, PHYs on this bus are probed
- using the _ADR object as shown below and are registered on the MDIO bus.
- .. code-block:: none
- Scope(\_SB.MDI0)
- {
- Device(PHY1) {
- Name (_ADR, 0x1)
- } // end of PHY1
- Device(PHY2) {
- Name (_ADR, 0x2)
- } // end of PHY2
- }
- Later, during the MAC driver initialization, the registered PHY devices
- have to be retrieved from the MDIO bus. For this, the MAC driver needs
- references to the previously registered PHYs which are provided
- as device object references (e.g. \_SB.MDI0.PHY1).
- phy-mode
- --------
- The "phy-mode" _DSD property is used to describe the connection to
- the PHY. The valid values for "phy-mode" are defined in [ethernet-controller].
- managed
- -------
- Optional property, which specifies the PHY management type.
- The valid values for "managed" are defined in [ethernet-controller].
- fixed-link
- ----------
- The "fixed-link" is described by a data-only subnode of the
- MAC port, which is linked in the _DSD package via
- hierarchical data extension (UUID dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b
- in accordance with [dsd-guide] "_DSD Implementation Guide" document).
- The subnode should comprise a required property ("speed") and
- possibly the optional ones - complete list of parameters and
- their values are specified in [ethernet-controller].
- The following ASL example illustrates the usage of these properties.
- DSDT entry for MDIO node
- ------------------------
- The MDIO bus has an SoC component (MDIO controller) and a platform
- component (PHYs on the MDIO bus).
- a) Silicon Component
- This node describes the MDIO controller, MDI0
- ---------------------------------------------
- .. code-block:: none
- Scope(_SB)
- {
- Device(MDI0) {
- Name(_HID, "NXP0006")
- Name(_CCA, 1)
- Name(_UID, 0)
- Name(_CRS, ResourceTemplate() {
- Memory32Fixed(ReadWrite, MDI0_BASE, MDI_LEN)
- Interrupt(ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveHigh, Shared)
- {
- MDI0_IT
- }
- }) // end of _CRS for MDI0
- } // end of MDI0
- }
- b) Platform Component
- The PHY1 and PHY2 nodes represent the PHYs connected to MDIO bus MDI0
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- .. code-block:: none
- Scope(\_SB.MDI0)
- {
- Device(PHY1) {
- Name (_ADR, 0x1)
- } // end of PHY1
- Device(PHY2) {
- Name (_ADR, 0x2)
- } // end of PHY2
- }
- DSDT entries representing MAC nodes
- -----------------------------------
- Below are the MAC nodes where PHY nodes are referenced.
- phy-mode and phy-handle are used as explained earlier.
- ------------------------------------------------------
- .. code-block:: none
- Scope(\_SB.MCE0.PR17)
- {
- Name (_DSD, Package () {
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package () {
- Package (2) {"phy-mode", "rgmii-id"},
- Package (2) {"phy-handle", \_SB.MDI0.PHY1}
- }
- })
- }
- Scope(\_SB.MCE0.PR18)
- {
- Name (_DSD, Package () {
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package () {
- Package (2) {"phy-mode", "rgmii-id"},
- Package (2) {"phy-handle", \_SB.MDI0.PHY2}}
- }
- })
- }
- MAC node example where "managed" property is specified.
- -------------------------------------------------------
- .. code-block:: none
- Scope(\_SB.PP21.ETH0)
- {
- Name (_DSD, Package () {
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package () {
- Package () {"phy-mode", "sgmii"},
- Package () {"managed", "in-band-status"}
- }
- })
- }
- MAC node example with a "fixed-link" subnode.

- Name (_DSD, Package () {
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package () {
- Package () {"phy-mode", "sgmii"},
- },
- ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
- Package () {
- Package () {"fixed-link", "LNK0"}
- }
- })
- Name (LNK0, Package(){ // Data-only subnode of port
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package () {
