phylib: Fix Freescale TBI PHY detection
Freescale on-chip TBI PHYs reports PHY ID as 0x0, but as of commit 3ee82383f0098a2e13acc8cf1be8e47512f41e5a Author: Giulio Benetti <giulio.benetti@micronovasrl.com> Date: Thu Nov 13 21:53:13 2008 +0000 phy: fix phy address bug PHYID returns 0xffff and not 0xffffffff when not found and in some case(at91sam9263) 0x0. Maybe this patch could be useful. phy_device.c treats PHY ID == 0x0 as bogus IDs, and that results in gianfar driver failure to see the TBI PHYs. This code snippet triggers: if (!priv->tbiphy) { printk(KERN_WARNING "SGMII mode requires that the device " "tree specify a tbi-handle\n"); return; } Although tbi-handle is specified in the device tree. Btw, technically PHY ID == 0x0 is a valid ID (if we ever see a PHY manufactured by Xerox :-).
