dual fec interface do not work well using fec_main driver

Hi,all

   I have been blocked at this problem for one month. And i have found that if i build the driver in module and insert---remove----insert it,the ethernet phy will work well.It's something wrong with the initial of phy. The second phy can not be detected in the function  'fec_enet_mii_probe'  of  'fec_main.c ' when first init the ethernet.

phy_dev = of_phy_connect(ndev, fep->phy_node,
&fec_enet_adjust_link, 0,
fep->phy_interface);
if (!phy_dev)
return -ENODEV;

and in function 'fec_enet_mii_init' of 'fec_main.c', it say that:

/*
* The i.MX28 dual fec interfaces are not equal.
* Here are the differences:
*
* - fec0 supports MII & RMII modes while fec1 only supports RMII
* - fec0 acts as the 1588 time master while fec1 is slave
* - external phys can only be configured by fec0
*
* That is to say fec1 can not work independently. It only works
* when fec0 is working. The reason behind this design is that the
* second interface is added primarily for Switch mode.
*
* Because of the last point above, both phys are attached on fec0
* mdio interface in board design, and need to be configured by
* fec0 mii_bus.
*/

But in dts file, mdio gpio is defined at fec2 not fec1.

        pinctrl_enet1: enet1grp {
            fsl,pins = <
                //MX6UL_PAD_GPIO1_IO07__ENET1_MDC    0x1b0b0

            >;
        };

        pinctrl_enet2: enet2grp {
            fsl,pins = <
                MX6UL_PAD_GPIO1_IO07__ENET2_MDC        0x1b0b0
                MX6UL_PAD_GPIO1_IO06__ENET2_MDIO    0x1b0b0

                MX6UL_PAD_ENET2_RX_DATA1__ENET2_RDATA01    0x1b0b0
                MX6UL_PAD_ENET2_TX_EN__ENET2_TX_EN    0x1b0b0
                MX6UL_PAD_ENET2_TX_DATA0__ENET2_TDATA00    0x1b0b0

                MX6UL_PAD_GPIO1_IO09__GPIO1_IO09    0x11 /* ethet2 interrupt */
            >;
        };

If i defined it in fec1 and adjust like this:

&fec1 {
    pinctrl-names = "default";
    pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_enet1>;
    phy-reset-gpios = <&gpio1 4 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
    phy-reset-duration = <5>;
    phy-mode = "rmii";
    phy-handle = <&ethphy0>;
    status = "okay";
    mdio {
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <0>;

        ethphy0: ethernet-phy@1 {
            compatible = "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22";
            reg = <1>;
        };

        ethphy1: ethernet-phy@0 {
            compatible = "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22";
            reg = <0>;
        };
    };
};

&fec2 {
    pinctrl-names = "default";
    pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_enet2>;
    phy-reset-gpios = <&gpio1 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
    phy-reset-duration = <5>;
    phy-mode = "rmii";
    phy-handle = <&ethphy1>;
    status = "okay";


};

The device will have eth0/eth1 in  ' ifconfig -a ' ,but can not be used, report that

root@imx6ul7d:~# dmesg |grep -i eth0
fec 20b4000.ethernet eth0: registered PHC device 0
root@imx6ul7d:~# dmesg |grep -i eth1
fec 2188000.ethernet eth1: registered PHC device 1
root@imx6ul7d:~# ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
root@imx6ul7d:~# ifconfig eth1 up
ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device

I have no ideas how to adjust the drivers to make the power-up sequence right. Can anyone give suggestion about this? Thanks!

Hi Mingyang

one can try second fec using procedure described below for i.MX28 EVK and L2.6.35

Submit i.MX53 &amp; i.MX28 Linux kernel patches
