This value is normally passed to the PHY, so the PHY inserts the RGMII delay. You however don't have a PHY. So i assume the switch is inserting the delay? Again, being able to see the DT properties for the switch would be useful. Andrew

The BMC mac3 is connected to BCM53134P's IMP_RGMII port, and there is no PHY between BMC MAC and BCM53134P. BCM53134P loads configurations from its EEPROM when the chip is powered. Could you please point me an example showing how to describe the switch in dts? Anyhow I will need to improve the patch description and comments in v2. Thanks, - Tao

It looks like drivers/net/dsa/b53 does not support this particular switch. You could consider extending the driver. See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/dsa/brcm,b53.yaml for documentation of the binding. Andrew

Correct the 53134 is not supported at the moment by the b53 driver, however it should not be too hard to support it, if you would be willing to add it, I would be glad to review patches.

Specific to this Elbert platform, we don't have plan to configure BCM53134 via OpenBMC MDIO (dts), because we expect the switch always loads configurations from its EEPROM. I've sent out v2 with more comments in the dts file; could you please check and let me know if it's reasonable/acceptable? Thank you. Thanks, Tao

DSA offers more than configuration. You can also get interface statistics, and knowledge of if an interface is up/down. And since the PHY of the switch becomes normal Linux PHYs, you can do cable testing, if the PHY has support, etc. Do you have spanning tree to break L2 network loops? Linux will provide that as well. However, if you are happy with dumb switch, then what you posted is sufficient. Andrew

I will keep the patch series as is for now, to at least enable ethernet in Elbert OpenBMC, and will work out new patch series to add BCM53134 in DSA later. Thanks again for the review. Cheers, Tao
