This thing keeps failing on my end. It only works if I force the
irqchip module to be present before the MDIO module is loaded. Here's
an example:
root at tiger-roach:~# modprobe mdio_mux_meson_g12a
[ 125.871544] libphy: mdio_mux: probed
[ 125.882575] g12a-mdio_mux ff64c000.mdio-multiplexer: Error: Failed to register MDIO bus for child /soc/bus at ff600000/mdio-multiplexer at 4c000/mdio at 0
[ 125.892630] libphy: mdio_mux: probed
Trying to bring up the Ethernet interface will fail. Note that there
was no attempt to load the irqchip driver.
root at tiger-roach:~# modprobe -r mdio_mux_meson_g12a
root at tiger-roach:~# modprobe irq-meson-gpio
[ 144.983344] meson-gpio-intc ffd0f080.interrupt-controller: 100 to 8 gpio interrupt mux initialized
root at tiger-roach:~# modprobe mdio_mux_meson_g12a
[ 150.376464] libphy: mdio_mux: probed
[ 150.391039] libphy: mdio_mux: probed
And it now works.
Is it a MDIO issue? a fw_devlink issue? No idea. But I'd really like
to see this addressed before taking this patch, as everything works
just fine as long as the irqchip is built in (which on its own could
well pure luck).
Saravana, could you please have a look from a fw_devlink perspective?
Thanks,
M.
