[PATCH net-next v19 2/6] net: dsa: mxl862xx: add SMDIO clause-22 register access
From: Daniel Golle
Date: Sat Oct 03 2026 - 11:54:15 EST
Add mxl862xx_smdio_read() and mxl862xx_smdio_write() for clause-22
SMDIO register access. The switch's MCUboot bootloader exposes only
clause-22 registers; the clause-45 MMD interface needs the running
firmware and is unavailable while the switch is in MCUboot. The MDIO
bus lock is held per-transaction (not across polls) so that SB PDI
polling during flash erase does not starve other non-switch users of
the same MDIO bus, such as separate PHYs providing WAN or management
interfaces.
mxl862xx_api_wrap() takes the bus lock with MDIO_MUTEX_NESTED because
it can be entered from the accessors of the switch-internal MDIO bus
while that bus's lock of the same lock class is already held. The
SMDIO helpers take it with a plain mutex_lock(): they run where no
other MDIO bus lock is held, from probe, the devlink flash path and
the rescue recovery work.

v19: commit message and comment: name the rescue recovery work among the
callers, state the locking of each path on its own, and say that no
MDIO bus lock at all may be held, as every bus shares the lock class
