Subject[PATCH] ARM: dts: sun7i: lamobo-r1: Fix CPU port RGMII settings
Message-ID<tmB6F-oy-9@gated-at.bofh.it>
The CPU port of the BCM53125 is configured with RGMII (no delays) but
this should actually be RGMII with transmit delay (rgmii-txid) because
STMMAC takes care of inserting the transmitter delay. This fixes
occasional packet loss encountered.

Just to clarify, the DT binding says:

  * "rgmii-txid" (RGMII with internal TX delay provided by the PHY, the MAC
     should not add an TX delay in this case)

I'm assuming this applies from the device node's point of view?
In this case the "PHY" is STMMAC, and the "MAC" is the switch chip?
Is that right?


Thanks
ChenYu

It's actually a MAC to MAC type of set up here, so the definition of the
property kind of still applies, with the caveat that we need to make
sure that if one side uses "rgmii", the other one uses "rgmii-txid"
which is what is being done here. I think I typoed in the commit message
in that it should read "STMMAC does not take care of inserting the
transmitter delay here" which is why the switch must do it.

Thanks!
