We face an issue with rtl8211f, a pin is shared between INTB and PMEB, and the PHY Register Accessible Interrupt is enabled by default, so the INTB/PMEB pin is always active in polling mode case.
As Heiner pointed out "I was thinking about calling phy_disable_interrupts() in phy_init_hw(), to have a defined init state as we don't know in which state the PHY is if the PHY driver is loaded. We shouldn't assume that it's the chip power-on defaults, BIOS or boot loader could have changed this. Or in case of dual-boot systems the other OS could leave the PHY in whatever state." patch1 makes phy_disable_interrupts() non-static so that it could be used in phy_init_hw() to have a defined init state. patch2 calls phy_disable_interrupts() in phy_init_hw() to have a defined init state. Since v2: - Don't export phy_disable_interrupts() but just make it non-static Since v1: - EXPORT the correct symbol Jisheng Zhang (2): net: phy: make phy_disable_interrupts() non-static net: phy: call phy_disable_interrupts() in phy_init_hw() drivers/net/phy/phy.c | 2 +- drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c | 7 +++++-- include/linux/phy.h | 1 + 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- 2.27.0
