According to the datasheet (Rev. 1.9) the RTL8211F requires at least 72ms "for internal circuits settling time" before accessing the PHY registers. This fixes an issue where the Ethernet link doesn't come up when using ip link set down/up: [ 29.360965] meson8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet eth0: Link is Down [ 34.569012] meson8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet eth0: PHY [0.0:00] driver [RTL8211F Gigabit Ethernet] (irq=31) [ 34.676732] meson8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet: Failed to reset the dma [ 34.678874] meson8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_hw_setup: DMA engine initialization failed [ 34.687850] meson8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_open: Hw setup failed Fixes: 658e4129bb81 ("arm64: dts: meson: g12b: odroid-n2: add the Ethernet PHY reset line") Reviewed-by: Martin Blumenstingl <martin.blumenstingl@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Agner <stefan@agner.ch> Signed-off-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@baylibre.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/df3f5c4fc6e43c55429fd3662a636036a21eed49.1607363522.git.stefan@agner.ch
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
