[PATCH net-next 0/3] Adding PHY Loopback tunable

2016-11-28 Thread Allan W. Nielsen
Hi All,

This series add support for PHY Loopback tunable, and implement it
for MSCC phys.

To configure loopback, the ethtool_tunable structure is used. 'id' must be
set to 'ETHTOOL_PHY_LOOPBACK' and 'data' specifies the loopback type:
ETHTOOL_PHY_LOOPBACK_* (DISABLE, NEAR, FAR or EXTN).

Here is how to configure loopback using ethtool:

Ethtool Help: ethtool -h for PHY tunables
ethtool --set-phy-tunable DEVNAME  Set PHY tunable
[ loopback off|near|far|extn ]
ethtool --get-phy-tunable DEVNAME  Get PHY tunable
[ loopback ]

Ethtool ex:
  ethtool --set-phy-tunable eth0 loopback near
  ethtool --set-phy-tunable eth0 loopback far
  ethtool --set-phy-tunable eth0 loopback extn
  ethtool --set-phy-tunable eth0 loopback off
  ethtool --get-phy-tunable eth0 loopback

Patches to ethtool will follow shortly.

The feature is tested on Beaglebone Black with VSC 8531 PHY.

Please review.

Best regards
Allan and Raju
