Merge branch 'net-ravb-Add-support-for-explicit-internal-clock-delay-c
onfiguration' Geert Uytterhoeven says: ==================== net/ravb: Add support for explicit internal clock delay configuration Some Renesas EtherAVB variants support internal clock delay configuration, which can add larger delays than the delays that are typically supported by the PHY (using an "rgmii-*id" PHY mode, and/or "[rt]xc-skew-ps" properties). Historically, the EtherAVB driver configured these delays based on the "rgmii-*id" PHY mode. This caused issues with PHY drivers that implement PHY internal delays properly[1]. Hence a backwards-compatible workaround was added by masking the PHY mode[2]. This patch series implements the next step of the plan outlined in [3], and adds proper support for explicit configuration of the MAC internal clock delays using new "[rt]x-internal-delay-ps" properties. If none of these properties is present, the driver falls back to the old handling. This can be considered the MAC counterpart of commit 9150069b ("dt-bindings: net: Add tx and rx internal delays"), which applies to the PHY. Note that unlike commit 92252eec ("net: phy: Add a helper to return the index for of the internal delay"), no helpers are provided to parse the DT properties, as so far there is a single user only, which supports only zero or a single fixed value. Of course such helpers can be added later, when the need arises, or when deemed useful otherwise. This series consists of 3 parts: 1. DT binding updates documenting the new properties, for both the generic ethernet-controller and the EtherAVB-specific bindings, 2. Conversion to json-schema of the Renesas EtherAVB DT bindings. Technically, the conversion is independent of all of the above. I included it in this series, as it shows how all sanity checks on "[rt]x-internal-delay-ps" values are implemented as DT binding checks, 3. EtherAVB driver update implementing support for the new properties. Given Rob has provided his acks for the DT binding updates, all of this can be merged through net-next. Changes compared to v3[4]: - Add Reviewed-by, - Drop the DT updates, as they will be merged through renesas-devel and arm-soc, and have a hard dependency on this series. Changes compared to v2[5]: - Update recently added board DTS files, - Add Reviewed-by. Changes compared to v1[6]: - Added "[PATCH 1/7] dt-bindings: net: ethernet-controller: Add internal delay properties", - Replace "renesas,[rt]xc-delay-ps" by "[rt]x-internal-delay-ps", - Incorporated EtherAVB DT binding conversion to json-schema, - Add Reviewed-by. Impacted, tested: - Salvator-X(S) with R-Car H3 ES1.0 and ES2.0, M3-W, and M3-N. Not impacted, tested: - Ebisu with R-Car E3. Impacted, not tested: - Salvator-X(S) with other SoC variants, - ULCB with R-Car H3/M3-W/M3-N variants, - V3MSK and Eagle with R-Car V3M, - Draak with R-Car V3H, - HiHope RZ/G2[MN] with RZ/G2M or RZ/G2N, - Beacon EmbeddedWorks RZ/G2M Development Kit. To ease testing, I have pushed this series and the DT updates to the topic/ravb-internal-clock-delays-v4 branch of my renesas-drivers repository at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/renesas-drivers.git.
