Micrel KSZ9021/KSZ9031/KSZ9131 Gigabit Ethernet PHY Some boards require special tuning values, particularly when it comes to clock delays. You can specify clock delay values in the PHY OF device node. Deprecated, but still supported, these properties can also be added to an Ethernet OF device node. Note that these settings are applied after any phy-specific fixup from phy_fixup_list (see phy_init_hw() from drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c), and therefore may overwrite them. KSZ9021: All skew control options are specified in picoseconds. The minimum value is 0, the maximum value is 3000, and it can be specified in 200ps steps, *but* these values are in not fact what you get because this chip's skew values actually increase in 120ps steps, starting from -840ps. The incorrect values came from an error in the original KSZ9021 datasheet before it was corrected in revision 1.2 (Feb 2014), but it is too late to change the driver now because of the many existing device trees that have been created using values that go up in increments of 200. The following table shows the actual skew delay you will get for each of the possible devicetree values, and the number that will be programmed into the corresponding pad skew register: Device Tree Value Delay Pad Skew Register Value ----------------------------------------------------- 0 -840ps 0000 200 -720ps 0001 400 -600ps 0010 600 -480ps 0011 800 -360ps 0100 1000 -240ps 0101 1200 -120ps 0110 1400 0ps 0111 1600 120ps 1000 1800 240ps 1001 2000 360ps 1010 2200 480ps 1011 2400 600ps 1100 2600 720ps 1101 2800 840ps 1110 3000 960ps 1111 Optional properties: - rxc-skew-ps : Skew control of RXC pad - rxdv-skew-ps : Skew control of RX CTL pad - txc-skew-ps : Skew control of TXC pad - txen-skew-ps : Skew control of TX CTL pad - rxd0-skew-ps : Skew control of RX data 0 pad - rxd1-skew-ps : Skew control of RX data 1 pad - rxd2-skew-ps : Skew control of RX data 2 pad - rxd3-skew-ps : Skew control of RX data 3 pad - txd0-skew-ps : Skew control of TX data 0 pad - txd1-skew-ps : Skew control of TX data 1 pad - txd2-skew-ps : Skew control of TX data 2 pad - txd3-skew-ps : Skew control of TX data 3 pad KSZ9031: All skew control options are specified in picoseconds. The minimum value is 0, and the maximum is property-dependent. The increment step is 60ps. The default value is the neutral setting, so setting rxc-skew-ps=<0> actually results in -900 picoseconds adjustment. The KSZ9031 hardware supports a range of skew values from negative to positive, where the specific range is property dependent. All values specified in the devicetree are offset by the minimum value so they can be represented as positive integers in the devicetree since it's difficult to represent a negative number in the devictree. The following 5-bit values table apply to rxc-skew-ps and txc-skew-ps.

Only set this option if the phy reference clock provided at CLK125_NDO pin is used as MAC reference clock because the clock jitter in slave mode is to high (errata#2). Attention: The link partner must be configurable as slave otherwise no link will be established. KSZ9131: All skew control options are specified in picoseconds. The increment step is 100ps. Unlike KSZ9031, the values represent picoseccond delays. A negative value can be assigned as rxc-skew-psec = <(-100)>;. Optional properties: Range of the value -700 to 2400, default value 0: - rxc-skew-psec : Skew control of RX clock pad - txc-skew-psec : Skew control of TX clock pad Range of the value -700 to 800, default value 0: - rxdv-skew-psec : Skew control of RX CTL pad - txen-skew-psec : Skew control of TX CTL pad - rxd0-skew-psec : Skew control of RX data 0 pad - rxd1-skew-psec : Skew control of RX data 1 pad - rxd2-skew-psec : Skew control of RX data 2 pad - rxd3-skew-psec : Skew control of RX data 3 pad - txd0-skew-psec : Skew control of TX data 0 pad - txd1-skew-psec : Skew control of TX data 1 pad - txd2-skew-psec : Skew control of TX data 2 pad - txd3-skew-psec : Skew control of TX data 3 pad Examples: /* Attach to an Ethernet device with autodetected PHY */ &enet { rxc-skew-ps = <1800>; rxdv-skew-ps = <0>; txc-skew-ps = <1800>; txen-skew-ps = <0>; status = "okay"; }; /* Attach to an explicitly-specified PHY */ mdio { phy0: ethernet-phy@0 { rxc-skew-ps = <1800>; rxdv-skew-ps = <0>; txc-skew-ps = <1800>; txen-skew-ps = <0>; reg = <0>; }; }; ethernet@70000 { phy = <&phy0>; phy-mode = "rgmii-id"; }; References Micrel ksz9021rl/rn Data Sheet, Revision 1.2.
