net: phy: workaround for buggy cable detection by LAN8700 after cable plugging
* Due to HW bug, LAN8700 sometimes does not detect presence of energy in the Ethernet cable in Energy Detect Power-Down mode (e.g while EDPWRDOWN bit is set, the ENERGYON bit does not asserted sometimes). This is a common bug of LAN87xx family of PHY chips. * The lan87xx_read_status() was improved to acquire ENERGYON bit. Its previous algorythm still not reliable on 100 % and sometimes skip cable plugging. Signed-off-by: Igor Plyatov <plyatov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

- * The LAN8710/LAN8720 requires a minimum of 2 link pulses within 64ms of each

- *
- * This workaround will manually toggle the PHY on/off upon calls to read_status
- * in order to generate link test pulses if the link is down. If a link partner
- * is present, it will respond to the pulses, which will cause the ENERGYON bit
- * to be set and will cause the EDPD mode to be exited.
+ * The LAN87xx suffers from rare absence of the ENERGYON-bit when Ethernet cable
+ * plugs in while LAN87xx is in Energy Detect Power-Down mode. This leads to
+ * unstable detection of plugging in Ethernet cable.
+ * This workaround disables Energy Detect Power-Down mode and waiting for
+ * response on link pulses to detect presence of plugged Ethernet cable.
+ * The Energy Detect Power-Down mode is enabled again in the end of procedure to
+ * save approximately 220 mW of power if cable is unplugged.
