mainlining shenanigans
163000dbc7
Inband AN is broken on Amethyst in 2500base-x mode when set by standard
mechanism (via cmode).
(There probably is some weird setting done by default in the switch for
this mode that make it cycle in some state or something, because when
the peer is the mvneta controller, it receives link change interrupts
every ~0.3ms, but the link is always down.)
Get around this by configuring the PCS mode to 1000base-x (where inband
AN works), and then changing the SerDes frequency while SerDes
transmitter and receiver are disabled, before enabling SerDes PHY. After
disabling SerDes PHY, change the PCS mode back to 2500base-x, to avoid
confusing the device (if we leave it at 1000base-x PCS mode but with
different frequency, and then change cmode to sgmii, the device won't
change the frequency because it thinks it already has the correct one).
The register which changes the frequency is undocumented. I discovered
it by going through all registers in the ranges 4.f000-4.f100 and
1e.8000-1e.8200 for all SerDes cmodes (sgmii, 1000base-x, 2500base-x,
5gbase-r, 10gbase-r, usxgmii) and filtering out registers that didn't
make sense (the value was the same for modes which have different
frequency). The result of this was:
reg sgmii 1000base-x 2500base-x 5gbase-r 10gbase-r usxgmii
04.f002 005b 0058 0059 005c 005d 005f
04.f076 3000 0000 1000 4000 5000 7000
04.f07c 0950 0950 1850 0550 0150 0150
1e.8000 0059 0059 0058 0055 0051 0051
1e.8140 0e20 0e20 0e28 0e21 0e42 0e42
Register 04.f002 is the documented Port Operational Confiuration
register, it's last 3 bits select PCS type, so changing this register
also changes the frequency to the appropriate value.
Registers 04.f076 and 04.f07c are not writable.
Undocumented register 1e.8000 was the one: changing bits 3:0 from 9 to 8
changed SerDes frequency to 3.125 GHz, while leaving the value of PCS
mode in register 04.f002.2:0 at 1000base-x. Inband autonegotiation
started working correctly.
(I didn't try anything with register 1e.8140 since 1e.8000 solved the
problem.)
Since I don't have documentation for this register 1e.8000.3:0, I am
using the constants without names, but my hypothesis is that this
register selects PHY frequency. If in the future I have access to an
oscilloscope able to handle these frequencies, I will try to test this
hypothesis.

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.
