net: phy: Micrel KSZ8061: link failure after cable connect
With Micrel KSZ8061 PHY, the link may occasionally not come up after Ethernet cable connect. The vendor's (Microchip, former Micrel) errata sheet 80000688A.pdf descripes the problem and possible workarounds in detail, see below. The batch implements workaround 1, which permanently fixes the issue. DESCRIPTION Link-up may not occur properly when the Ethernet cable is initially connected. This issue occurs more commonly when the cable is connected slowly, but it may occur any time a cable is connected. This issue occurs in the auto-negotiation circuit, and will not occur if auto-negotiation is disabled (which requires that the two link partners be set to the same speed and duplex). END USER IMPLICATIONS When this issue occurs, link is not established. Subsequent cable plug/unplaug cycle will not correct the issue. WORk AROUND There are four approaches to work around this issue: 1. This issue can be prevented by setting bit 15 in MMD device address 1, register 2, prior to connecting the cable or prior to setting the Restart Auto-negotiation bit in register 0h. The MMD registers are accessed via the indirect access registers Dh and Eh, or via the Micrel EthUtil utility as shown here: . if using the EthUtil utility (usually with a Micrel KSZ8061 Evaluation Board), type the following commands: > address 1 > mmd 1 > iw 2 b61a . Alternatively, write the following registers to write to the indirect MMD register: Write register Dh, data 0001h Write register Eh, data 0002h Write register Dh, data 4001h Write register Eh, data B61Ah 2. The issue can be avoided by disabling auto-negotiation in the KSZ8061, either by the strapping option, or by clearing bit 12 in register 0h. Care must be taken to ensure that the KSZ8061 and the link partner will link with the same speed and duplex. Note that the KSZ8061 defaults to full-duplex when auto-negotiation is off, but other devices may default to half-duplex in the event of failed auto-negotiation. 3. The issue can be avoided by connecting the cable prior to powering-up or resetting the KSZ8061, and leaving it plugged in thereafter. 4. If the above measures are not taken and the problem occurs, link can be recovered by setting the Restart Auto-Negotiation bit in register 0h, or by resetting or power cycling the device. Reset may be either hardware reset or software reset (register 0h, bit 15). PLAN This errata will not be corrected in the future revision.
