Currently, the adin driver fails to compile.
The original patch introducing the adin driver used the function

Currently we require PHY interface mode to be known when
finding/creating the PHY - the functions
* phy_connect_phy_id()
* phy_device_create()
* create_phy_by_mask()
* search_for_existing_phy()
* get_phy_device_by_mask()
* phy_find_by_mask()
all require the interface parameter, but the only thing done with it is
that it is assigned to phydev->interface.
This makes it impossible to find a PHY device without overwriting the
set mode.
Since the interface mode is not used during .probe() and should be used
at first in .config(), drop the interface parameter from these
functions. Make the default value of phydev->interface (in
phy_device_create()) to be PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA. Move the interface
parameter to phy_connect_dev(), where it should be.
Change all occurrences treewide. In occurrences where we don't call
phy_connect_dev() for some reason (they only configure the PHY without
connecting it to an ethernet controller), set
phydev->interface = value from phy_find_by_mask call.

A DM_ETH driver may use phy_connect() towards a PHY address on an MDIO
bus which is not specified in the device tree, as evidenced by:
pfe_eth_probe
-> pfe_phy_configure
-> phy_connect
When this happens, the PHY will have an invalid OF node.
When ar803x_config() runs, it silently fails at ar803x_of_init(), and
therefore, fails to run the rest of the initialization.
This makes MII_BMCR contain what it had after BMCR_RESET (0x8000) has
been written into it by phy_reset(). Since BMCR_RESET is volatile and
self-clearing, the MII_BMCR ends up having a value of 0x0. The further
configuration of this register, which is supposed to be handled by
genphy_config_aneg() lower in ar803x_config(), never gets a chance to
run due to this early error from ar803x_of_init().
As a result of having MII_BMCR as 0, the following symptom appears:
=> setenv ethact pfe_eth0
=> setenv ipaddr 10.0.0.1
=> ping 10.0.0.2
pfe_eth0 Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete......... TIMEOUT !
Could not initialize PHY pfe_eth0
Manually writing 0x1140 into register 0 of the PHY makes the connection
work, but it is rather desirable that the port works without any manual

Ethernet phy like dp83867 is using strapping resistors to setup PHY
address. On Xilinx boards strapping is setup on wires which are connected
to SOC where internal pull ups/downs influnce phy address. That's why there
is a need to setup pins properly (via pinctrl driver for example) and then
perform phy reset. I can be workarounded by reset gpio done for mdio bus
but this is not working properly when multiply phys sitting on the same
bus. That's why it needs to be done via ethernet-phy-id driver where dt
binding has gpio reset per phy.
DT binding is available here:

it became apparent that nobody really knows what "SGMII 2500" is.
Certainly, Freescale/NXP hardware engineers name this protocol
"SGMII 2500" in the reference manuals, but the PCS devices do not
support any "SGMII" specific features when operating at the speed of
2500 Mbps, no in-band autoneg and no speed change via symbol replication
. So that leaves a fixed speed of 2500 Mbps using a coding of 8b/10b
with a SERDES lane frequency of 3.125 GHz. In fact, "SGMII 2500 without
in-band autoneg and at a fixed speed" is indistinguishable from
"2500base-x without in-band autoneg", which is precisely what these NXP
devices support.
So it just appears that "SGMII 2500" is an unclear name with no clear
definition that stuck.
As such, in the Linux kernel, the drivers which use this SERDES protocol
use the 2500base-x phy-mode.
This patch converts U-Boot to use 2500base-x too, or at least, as much
as it can.
Note that I would have really liked to delete PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_SGMII_2500
completely, but the mvpp2 driver seems to even distinguish between SGMII
2500 and 2500base-X. Namely, it enables in-band autoneg for one but not
the other, and forces flow control for one but not the other. This goes
back to the idea that maybe 2500base-X is a fiber protocol and SGMII-2500
is an MII protocol (connects a MAC to a PHY such as Aquantia), but the
two are practically indistinguishable through everything except use case.
NXP devices can support both use cases through an identical configuration,
for example RX flow control can be unconditionally enabled in order to
support rate adaptation performed by an Aquantia PHY. At least I can
find no indication in online documents published by Cisco which would
point towards "SGMII-2500" being an actual standard with an actual
definition, so I cannot say "yes, NXP devices support it".

On systems that use CONFIG_OF_LIVE, the "ofnode" type is defined
as const struct device_node *np, while on the flat DT systems it
is defined as a long of_offset into gd->fdt_blob.
It is desirable that the fixed PHY driver uses the higher-level
ofnode abstraction instead of parsing gd->fdt_blob directly,
because that enables it to work on live OF systems.
The fixed PHY driver has used a nasty hack since its introduction in
commit db40c1aa1c ("drivers/net/phy: add fixed-phy /
fixed-link support"),
which is to pass the long gd->fdt_blob offset inside int phydev->addr
(a value that normally holds the MDIO bus address at which the PHY
responds). Even ignoring the fact that the types were already
mismatched leading to a potential truncation (flat OF offset was
supposed to be a long and not an int), we really cannot extend this
hack any longer, because there's no way an int will hold the other
representation of ofnode, the struct device_node *np.
So we unfortunately need to do the right thing, which is to use the
framework introduced by Grygorii Strashko in
commit eef0b8a930 ("net: phy: add ofnode node to struct phy_device").
This will populate phydev->node for the fixed PHY.
Note that phydev->node will not be valid in the probe function, since
that is called synchronously from phy_device_create and we really have
no way of passing the ofnode directly through the phy_device_create API.
So we do what other drivers do too: we move the OF parsing logic from
the .probe to the .config method of the PHY driver. The new function
will be called at phy_config() time.
I do believe I've converted all the possible call paths for creating
a PHY with PHY_FIXED_ID, so there is really no reason to maintain
compatibility with the old logic of retrieving a flat OF tree offset
from phydev->addr. We just pass 0 to phydev->addr now.

The DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture) implementation has made a
design decision when it got introduced to the Linux kernel in 2008.
That was to hide away from the user the CPU-facing Ethernet MAC, since
it does not make sense to register it as a struct net_device (UCLASS_ETH
udevice for U-Boot), because that would never be beneficial for a user:
they would not be able to use it for traffic, since conceptually, a
packet delivered to the CPU port should loop back into the system.
Nonetheless, DSA has had numerous growing pains due to the lack of a
struct net_device for the CPU port, but so far it has overcome them.
It is unlikely at this stage of maturity that this aspect of it will
change.
We would like U-Boot to present the same information as Linux, to be at
parity in terms of number of interfaces, so that ethNaddr environment
variables could directly be associated between U-Boot and Linux.
Therefore, we would implicitly like U-Boot to hide the CPU port from the
user as well.
But the paradox is that DSA still needs a struct phy_device to inform
the driver of the parameters of the link that it should configure the
CPU port to. The problem is that the phy_device is typically returned
via a call to phy_connect, which needs an udevice to attach the PHY to,
and to search its ofnode for the 'fixed-link' property. But we don't
have an udevice to present for the CPU port.
Since 99% of DSA setups are MAC-to-MAC connections between the switch
and the host Ethernet controller, the struct phy_device is going to be a
fixed PHY. This simplifies things quite a bit. In U-Boot, a fixed PHY
does not need an MDIO bus, and does not need an attached dev either.
Basically, the phy_connect call doesn't do any connection, it just
creates the fixed PHY.
The proposal of this patch is to introduce a new fixed_phy_create
function which will take a single argument: the ofnode that holds this:
port@4 {
reg = <4>;
phy-mode = "internal";
fixed-link {
speed = <2500>;
full-duplex;
};
};
and probe a fixed PHY driver using the information from this ofnode.
DSA will probably be the only user of this function.

Unlike the Linux fixed PHY driver, the one in U-Boot does not attempt to
emulate the clause 22 register set of a gigabit copper PHY driver
through the swphy framework. Therefore, the limitation of being unable
to support speeds higher than gigabit in fixed-link does not apply to
the U-Boot fixed PHY driver. This makes the fixed-link U-Boot
implementation more similar to the one from phylink, which can work with
any valid link speed.
