Recently the DW XPCS DT-bindings have been introduced and the DW XPCS
driver has been altered to support the DW XPCS registered as a platform
device. In order to have the DW XPCS DT-device accessed from the STMMAC
driver let's alter the STMMAC PCS-setup procedure to support the
"pcs-handle" property containing the phandle reference to the DW XPCS
device DT-node. The respective fwnode will be then passed to the
xpcs_create_fwnode() function which in its turn will create the DW XPCS
descriptor utilized in the main driver for the PCS-related setups.

Just figured, we might wish to be a bit more portable in the
"pcs-handle" property semantics implementation seeing there can be at
least three different PCS attached:
DW XPCS
Lynx PCS
Renesas RZ/N1 MII

Any suggestion of how to distinguish the passed handle? Perhaps
named-property, phandle argument, by the compatible string or the
node-name?

I can't think of a reasonable solution to this at the moment. One
solution could be pushing this down into the platform code to deal
with as an interim solution, via the new .pcs_init() method.

We could also do that with the current XPCS code, since we know that
only Intel mGBE uses xpcs. This would probably allow us to get rid
of the has_xpcs flag.

Basically you suggest to move the entire stmmac_pcs_setup() to the
platforms, don't you? The patch 9 of this series indeed could have
been converted to just moving the entire PCS-detection loop from
stmmac_pcs_setup() to the Intel-specific pcs_init.

But IMO some default/generic code would be still useful to preserve in
the stmmac_pcs_setup() method. When it comes to the fwnode-based
platform we at least could be falling back to the default DW XPCS
device registration if no plat_stmmacenet_data::pcs_init() callback
was specified and there was the "pcs-handle" property found,
especially seeing DW *MAC and DW XPCS are of the same vendor.

Based on that I can convert patch 9 of this series to introducing the
pcs_init() callback in the Intel mGBE driver, but preserve the
semantics of the rest of the series changes.

Yes, it's not like XPCS is used by more than one platform, it's only
Intel mGBE. So I don't see why it should have a privileged position
over any other PCS implementation that stmmac supports (there's now
three different PCS.)

If you don't want the code in the Intel driver, then what could be
done is provide a core implementation that gets hooked into the
.pcs_init() method.

The same is probably true of other PCSes if they end up being shared
across several different platforms.

Alas DW XPCS has already got a more privileged position. The STMMAC
driver calls the XPCS driver methods here and there (supported ifaces,
EEE or PHY setup). Unless these calls are converted to some
standard/new phylink_pcs calls IMO it would be better to preserve the
default DW XPCS init at least for the "pcs-handle" property to
motivate the platform drivers developers to follow some pre-defined
device description pattern (e.g. defining DW XPCS devices in device
tree), but leave the .pcs_init() for some platform-specific PCS inits
(including which have already been implemented).

As I already mentioned DW XPCS is of Synopsys vendor. The IP-core has
been invented to provide a bridge between the Synopsys MAC IP-cores
and PMA (mainly Synopsys PMAs) for the 1G/10G links like 1000Base-X,
and 10GBase-X/-R/-KX4/-KR. The reason we see just a single use-case
of the XPCS in the driver is that even though the STMMAC driver has DW
XGMAC support the driver is mainly utilized for the 1G MACs (I don't
see any platform currently having DW XGMAC defined). Since DW GMAC/QoS
Eth can be configured to have the standard PHY interfaces available
there is no need in XPCS in these cases (except a weird Intel mGBE).

But when it comes to DW XGMAC it can be synthesized with GMII and XGMII
interfaces only. These're exactly interfaces which DW XPCS supports on
upstream. Thus basically the DW XPCS IP-core has been mainly produced
for been utilized in a couple with DW XGMAC providing a ready-to-use
solution for the XFP/SFP(+) ports or backplane-based applications. So
should we have more DW XGMACs supported in the kernel we would have met
more DW XPCS defined in there too.

I don't mind converting patch 9 to moving the XPCS registration in the
Intel-specific .pcs_init() (especially seeing it's just a single
xpcs_create_mdiodev() call), but having the "pcs-handle" property
handled generically in the STMMAC core would be a useful thing to have
(see my reasoning above).
