Microchip lan7431 is frequently connected to a phy. However, it
can also be directly connected to a MII remote peer without
any phy in between. For supporting such a phyless hardware setup
in Linux we utilized phylib, which supports a fixed-link
configuration via the device tree. And we added support for
defining the connection type R/GMII in the device tree.
New behavior:
-------------
. The automatic speed and duplex detection of the lan743x silicon
between mac and phy is disabled. Instead phylib is used like in
other typical Linux drivers. The usage of phylib allows to
specify fixed-link parameters in the device tree.
. The device tree entry phy-connection-type is supported now with
the modes RGMII or (G)MII (default).
Development state:
------------------
. Tested with fixed-phy configurations. Not yet tested in normal
configurations with phy. Microchip kindly offered testing
as soon as the Corona measures allow this.
. All review findings of Andrew Lunn are included
Example:
--------
&pcie {
status = "okay";
host@0 {
reg = <0 0 0 0 0>;
#address-cells = <3>;
#size-cells = <2>;
ethernet@0 {
compatible = "weyland-yutani,noscom1", "microchip,lan743x";
status = "okay";
reg = <0 0 0 0 0>;
phy-connection-type = "rgmii";
fixed-link {
speed = <100>;
full-duplex;
};
};
};
};

The LAN743x includes on chip One-Time-Programmable (OTP) memory.
This patch extends the ethtool EEPROM read/write interface to
access OTP memory space.
The currently existing interface is limited, as it does not
allow OTP read, and OTP writes are restricted to
offset==0, length==512, and data[0]==0xF3.
This patch removes these restrictions and adds a private flag
called OTP_ACCESS, which is used to switch between EEPROM, and
OTP modes.
The private flag OTP_ACCESS is configurable through the
ethtool --set-priv-flags command.
And visible through the
ethtool --show-priv-flags command.
By default OTP_ACCESS is false, and there for previously existing
EEPROM commands will work exactly the same. However now access to
OTP requires one extra step of setting OTP_ACCESS to true. This
flag controls the read, write, and length reporting, functions
of ethtool.
EEPROM presence is not checked when setting or clearing this flag.
If the EEPROM is not present, the user, as before, will need to
diagnose that using existing read and write function of ethtool,
while OTP_ACCESS is false.
Updates for V2:
Added comments as to why this patch is needed.
Added comments explaining that EEPROM presence is not check
when setting or clearing the OTP_ACCESS flag.
Added length checking to all otp/eeprom read/write functions.

This driver was designed to work with both LAN7430 and LAN7431.
The only difference between the two is the LAN7431 has support
for external phy.
This change adds LAN7431 to the list of recognized devices
supported by this driver.
Updates for v2:
changed 'fixes' tag to match defined format
fixes: 23f0703c12 ("lan743x: Add main source files for new lan743x driver")
