I believe the answer is yes, but there's no clear description in the datasheet for a newer GSWIP revision [0] "Figure 8" on page 41 (or page 39 if you go by the numbers at the bottom of each page) has a description of the state machine logic. If I understood Hauke correct the "not fiber" part is only checked for newer GSWIP revisions Please note that the datasheet from [0] refers to part number GSW140 which is a stand-alone IC. The GSWIP driver (currently) supports an older revision (at least two generations older) of GSWIP which is built into Lantiq xRX200 and xRX300 SoCs. Best regards, Martin [0] https://www.maxlinear.com/document/index?id=23266&languageid=1033&type=Datasheet&partnumber=GSW140&filename=617930_GSW140_DS_Rev1.7.pdf&part=GSW140

Why do you say "rightfully"? The PHY is gigabit capable, and it reports
that via the Extended Status register. This is one of the reasons why
the "advertising" and "supported" link modes are separate concepts,
because even though you support gigabit, you don't advertise it because
you are in RMII mode.
How does turning off the auto polling feature help circumvent the
Atheros PHY reporting "issue"? Do we even know that is the problem, or
is it simply a guess on your part based on something that looked strange?

What does the auto polling feature consist of, exactly? Is there some
sort of microcontroller accessing the MDIO bus simultaneously with
Linux?

[PATCH net v2 1/2] net: dsa: lantiq_gswip: Don't use PHY auto polling
PHY auto polling on the GSWIP hardware can be used so link changes
(speed, link up/down, etc.) can be detected automatically. Internally
GSWIP reads the PHY's registers for this functionality. Based on this
automatic detection GSWIP can also automatically re-configure it's port
settings. Unfortunately this auto polling (and configuration) mechanism
seems to cause various issues observed by different people on different
devices:
- FritzBox 7360v2: the two Gbit/s ports (connected to the two internal
PHY11G instances) are working fine but the two Fast Ethernet ports
(using an AR8030 RMII PHY) are completely dead (neither RX nor TX are
received). It turns out that the AR8030 PHY sets the BMSR_ESTATEN bit
as well as the ESTATUS_1000_TFULL and ESTATUS_1000_XFULL bits. This
makes the PHY auto polling state machine (rightfully?) think that the
established link speed (when the other side is Gbit/s capable) is
1Gbit/s.
- None of the Ethernet ports on the Zyxel P-2812HNU-F1 (two are
connected to the internal PHY11G GPHYs while the other three are
external RGMII PHYs) are working. Neither RX nor TX traffic was
observed. It is not clear which part of the PHY auto polling state-
machine caused this.
- FritzBox 7412 (only one LAN port which is connected to one of the
internal GPHYs running in PHY22F / Fast Ethernet mode) was seeing
random disconnects (link down events could be seen). Sometimes all
traffic would stop after such disconnect. It is not clear which part
of the PHY auto polling state-machine cauased this.
- TP-Link TD-W9980 (two ports are connected to the internal GPHYs
running in PHY11G / Gbit/s mode, the other two are external RGMII
PHYs) was affected by similar issues as the FritzBox 7412 just without
the "link down" events
Switch to software based configuration instead of PHY auto polling (and
letting the GSWIP hardware configure the ports automatically) for the
following link parameters:
- link up/down
- link speed
- full/half duplex
- flow control (RX / TX pause)
After a big round of manual testing by various people (who helped test
this on OpenWrt) it turns out that this fixes all reported issues.
Additionally it can be considered more future proof because any
"quirk" which is implemented for a PHY on the driver side can now be
used with the GSWIP hardware as well because Linux is in control of the
link parameters.
As a nice side-effect this also solves a problem where fixed-links were
not supported previously because we were relying on the PHY auto polling
mechanism, which cannot work for fixed-links as there's no PHY from
where it can read the registers. Configuring the link settings on the
GSWIP ports means that we now use the settings from device-tree also for
ports with fixed-links.
