Is fw_devlink well-behaved these days, so as to not break (forever defer) the probing of the device having the pcs-handle, if no driver probed on the referenced PCS? Because the latter is what will happen if no one picks up Sean's patches to probe PCS devices in the usual device model way, I think.

Last time [1], Saravana suggested to move this to the end of the series to avoid such problems. FWIW, I just tried booting a LS1046A with the following patches applied 01/11 (compatibles) 05/11 (device) 08/11 (link) 09/11 (consumer) =================== ============== ============ ================ Y N Y N Y Y Y Y Y Y Y N N Y Y N N N Y N and all interfaces probed each time. So maybe it is safe to pick this patch. --Sean [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAGETcx97ijCpVyOqCfnrDuGh+SahQCC-3QrJta5HOscUkJQdEw@mail.gmail.com/

I'm not sure if it's fully safe yet. I haven't done the necessary fixes for phy-handle yet, but I don't know how pcs-handle and pcsphy-handle are used or if none of their uses will hit the chicken and egg problem that some uses of phy-handle hit. -Saravana

I can confirm that on today's net-next, the driver owning the pcs-handle will probe even if the PCS driver is missing. With the mention that it only does so after the driver_deferred_probe_timeout, which also in today's net-next is by default 10 seconds if CONFIG_MODULES=y.

This adds device link support for PCS devices. Both the recommended pcs-handle and the deprecated pcsphy-handle properties are supported. This should provide better probe ordering.
