Some boards do not have the RX_ER MII signal connected. Normally in such
situation, those pins would be grounded, but then again, some boards
left it electrically floating.
When sending traffic to those switch ports, one can see that the
N_SOFERR statistics counter is incrementing once per each packet. The
user manual states for this counter that it may count the number of
frames "that have the MII error input being asserted prior to or
up to the SOF delimiter byte". So the switch MAC is sampling an
electrically floating signal, and preventing proper traffic reception
because of that.
As a workaround, enable the internal weak pull-downs on the input pads
for the MII control signals. This way, a floating signal would be
internally tied to ground.
The logic levels of signals which _are_ externally driven should not be
bothered by this 40-50 KOhm internal resistor. So it is not an issue to
enable the internal pull-down unconditionally, irrespective of PHY
interface type (MII, RMII, RGMII, SGMII) and of board layout.

SJA1105 switches R and S have one SerDes port with an 802.3z
quasi-compatible PCS, hardwired on port 4. The other ports are still
MII/RMII/RGMII. The PCS performs rate adaptation to lower link speeds;
the MAC on this port is hardwired at gigabit. Only full duplex is
supported.
The SGMII port can be configured as part of the static config tables, as
well as through a dedicated SPI address region for its pseudo-clause-22
registers. However it looks like the static configuration is not
able to change some out-of-reset values (like the value of MII_BMCR), so
at the end of the day, having code for it is utterly pointless. We are
just going to use the pseudo-C22 interface.
Because the PCS gets reset when the switch resets, we have to add even
more restoration logic to sja1105_static_config_reload, otherwise the
SGMII port breaks after operations such as enabling PTP timestamping
which require a switch reset.
>From PHYLINK perspective, the switch supports *only* SGMII (it doesn't
support 1000Base-X). It also doesn't expose access to the raw config
word for in-band AN in registers MII_ADV/MII_LPA.
It is able to work in the following modes:
- Forced speed
- SGMII in-band AN slave (speed received from PHY)
- SGMII in-band AN master (acting as a PHY)
The latter mode is not supported by this patch. It is even unclear to me
how that would be described. There is some code for it left in the
patch, but 'an_master' is always passed as false.

The most commonly called function in the driver is long due for a
rename. The "packed" word is redundant (it doesn't make sense to
transfer an unpacked structure, since that is in CPU endianness yadda
yadda), and the "spi" word is also redundant since argument 2 of the
function is SPI_READ or SPI_WRITE.
As for the sja1105_spi_send_long_packed_buf function, it is only being
used from sja1105_spi.c, so remove its global prototype.

As per the DT phy-mode specification, RGMII delays are applied by the
MAC when there is no PHY present on the link.

The pad_mii_tx registers point to the same memory region but were
unused. So convert to using these for RGMII I/O cell configuration, as
they bear a shorter name.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt is confusing because
it says what the MAC should not do, but not what it *should* do:
* "rgmii-rxid" (RGMII with internal RX delay provided by the PHY, the MAC
should not add an RX delay in this case)
The gap in semantics is threefold:
1. Is it illegal for the MAC to apply the Rx internal delay by itself,
and simplify the phy_mode (mask off "rgmii-rxid" into "rgmii") before
passing it to of_phy_connect? The documentation would suggest yes.
1. For "rgmii-rxid", while the situation with the Rx clock skew is more
or less clear (needs to be added by the PHY), what should the MAC
driver do about the Tx delays? Is it an implicit wild card for the
MAC to apply delays in the Tx direction if it can? What if those were
already added as serpentine PCB traces, how could that be made more
obvious through DT bindings so that the MAC doesn't attempt to add
them twice and again potentially break the link?
3. If the interface is a fixed-link and therefore the PHY object is
fixed (a purely software entity that obviously cannot add clock
skew), what is the meaning of the above property?
So an interpretation of the RGMII bindings was chosen that hopefully
does not contradict their intention but also makes them more applied.
The SJA1105 driver understands to act upon "rgmii-*id" phy-mode bindings
if the port is in the PHY role (either explicitly, or if it is a
fixed-link). Otherwise it always passes the duty of setting up delays to
the PHY driver.
The error behavior that this patch adds is required on SJA1105E/T where
the MAC really cannot apply internal delays. If the other end of the
fixed-link cannot apply RGMII delays either (this would be specified
through its own DT bindings), then the situation requires PCB delays.
For SJA1105P/Q/R/S, this is however hardware supported and the error is
thus only temporary. I created a stub function pointer for configuring
delays per-port on RXC and TXC, and will implement it when I have access
to a board with this hardware setup.
Meanwhile do not allow the user to select an invalid configuration.

At this moment the following is supported:
* Link state management through phylib
* Autonomous L2 forwarding managed through iproute2 bridge commands.
IP termination must be done currently through the master netdevice,
since the switch is unmanaged at this point and using
DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE.
