[PATCH net-next 0/2] net: dsa: mxl862xx: MDIO bus integrity and optimization
From: Daniel Golle
Date: Sat Mar 21 2026 - 01:19:11 EST
The MxL862xx firmware offers opt-in CRC validation on the MDIO/MMD
command interface to guard against bit errors on the bus.
The driver has not used this until now.
This series enables CRC protection on both the command registers (CRC-6)
and data payloads (CRC-16), and reduces MDIO bus traffic by bulk-zeroing
registers instead of writing zero-valued words individually.
Daniel Golle (2):
net: dsa: mxl862xx: add CRC for MDIO communication
net: dsa: mxl862xx: use RST_DATA to skip writing zero words
