The PHY performs just as well when left in its default configuration and it makes senses because this poke gets reset just after init.
According to the documentation, all registers in the Analog/DSP bank are reset when there is a mode switch from 10BT to 100BT. In the end, we have used the default configuration so far and there is no reason to change now. Remove CONFIG_A6 poke to make this clear. Signed-off-by: Jerome Brunet <jbru...@baylibre.com> --- Out of curiosity, I tried to re-apply the ANALOG/DSP settings on speed changes (patch available here [0] if someone wants to try) but I did not notice any change as a result. In the end, I thought it was safer to keep on using the ANALOG settings we have been actually using so far, everybody seems to be happy with them [0]: https://github.com/jeromebrunet/linux/commit/b594288e629a61574e76112497474fd3cf46c781 drivers/net/phy/meson-gxl.c | 9 --------- 1 file changed, 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/phy/meson-gxl.c b/drivers/net/phy/meson-gxl.c index 726e0eeed475..5325940fe899 100644 --- a/drivers/net/phy/meson-gxl.c +++ b/drivers/net/phy/meson-gxl.c @@ -38,9 +38,6 @@ #define BANK_WOL 1 #define BANK_BIST 3 -/* Analog/DSP Registers */ -#define A6_CONFIG_REG 0x17 - /* WOL Registers */ #define LPI_STATUS 0xc #define LPI_STATUS_RSV12 BIT(12) @@ -126,12 +123,6 @@ static int meson_gxl_config_init(struct phy_device *phydev) { int ret; - /* Write CONFIG_A6*/ - ret = meson_gxl_write_reg(phydev, BANK_ANALOG_DSP, A6_CONFIG_REG, - 0x8e0d); - if (ret) - return ret; - /* Enable fractional PLL */ ret = meson_gxl_write_reg(phydev, BANK_BIST, FR_PLL_CONTROL, 0x5); if (ret) -- 2.14.3
