RollBall SFP modules allow the access to PHY registers only after a certain time has passed. Until then, the registers read 0xffff. Currently we have quirks for modules where we need to wait either 25 seconds or 4 seconds, but recently I got hands on another module where the wait is even shorter. Instead of hardcoding different wait times, lets rework the code: - increase the PHY retry count to 25 - when RollBall module is detected, increase the PHY retry time from 50ms to 1s Signed-off-by: Marek Behún <kabel@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
