Add DT bindings OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x MACPHY Serial Interface
parameters. These are generic properties that can apply to any 10BASE-T1x
MAC-PHY which uses OPEN Alliance TC6 specification.

The base for the series is generally the latest rc1. A different dependency
should be noted in *this* patch.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.

Device tree described hardware. Its not supposed to be used to
describe configuration. So it is not clear to me if any of these are
valid in DT.

It seems to me, the amount of control transfers should be very small
compared to data transfers. So why not just set protection enable to
be true?

What is the effect of chunk payload size ? Is there a reason to use a
lower value than the default 64? I assume smaller sizes make data
transfer more expensive, since you need more DMA setup and completion
handing etc.

An Ethernet driver is allowed to have driver specific private
flags. See ethtool(1) --show-priv-flags and --set-priv-flags You could
maybe use these to configure cut through?

Except that it was not tested at all few more issues.

Yes having protection enabled for control transfer doesn't hurt 
anything. The only intention for keeping this as configurable is, it is 
defined in the OPEN Alliance specification to enable/disable.

Again the intention for keeping this as configurable is, it is defined 
in the OPEN Alliance specification as user configurable. They can be 8, 
16, 32 and 64. And the default is 64. Also Microchip's LAN8650 supports 
for 32 and 64.

So you mean, we have to implement the support in the ethtool interface 
to enable/disable tx/rx cut through feature, isn't it?

If you feel like the above configurations are not needed, so by keeping 
protection true always, chunk payload size (cps) 64 always and moving 
tx/rx cut through to ethtool, we can get rid of this DT bindings?

Standards often have options which nobody ever use, or are only useful
in particular niches. Its often best to keep it simple, get the basic
feature working, and then add these optional features if anybody
actually needs them.

Do you have any idea why the standard has different sizes? Why would
you want to use 32? If you can answer this, it helps decide how
important it is to support multiple sizes, or just hard code it to 64.

There are plenty of old research on Ethernet frame sizes, but they are
for LAN/Internet usage. You typically see two peeks, one around 64-80
bytes, and other around the full frame size. The small packets are TCP
ACKS, and the rest is TCP data. However, this is a T1S device for
automotive. I personally have no idea if the same traffic distribution
is seen in that application?

Are there protocols running which use a lot of frames smaller than 64
bytes? If so, 64 byte chunk size i assume could be wasteful, if there
are lots of 32 byte frames.

The other potential issue is latency and the way the SPI bus
works. Its a synchronised bi-directional bus. You can receive and
transmit at the same time, but you have to setup the transfer to do
that. If you are busy doing a receive only, and there is a new packet
to send, you have to wait for the chunk transfer to complete before
you can start a bi-directional chunk transfer. So a 32 byte chunk
might make your link more efficient if you have heavy but bursty
traffic. However, you have to consider the overheads of setting up the
transfer and running the completion handler afterwards. This can be
costly.

Do you have real use cases for using different chunks sizes? If not, i
probably would just hard code it to 64, until somebody comes along
needing something else.

Again, do you have a real use case for cut through? Or maybe flip it
around, Why would you not use cut through?

Thanks a lot for your detailed explanation. From this what I understand is,

1. Will make protection enabled always for control transfer.
2. Keep the default chunk payload size (64) as it is.
3. Default tx/rx cut through modes are disabled. So will not touch them.

So that we don't need DT bindings.

Hi Krzysztof

As per the comments in the other email of this patch, this DT bindings 
are going to be removed.
