Do we really want this? For phylink, i think we have a nice new clean design and can say, if the MAC does not indicate it supports EEE, we turn it off in the PHY. For phylib, we have more of a mess, and there could be MACs actually doing EEE by default using default setting but with no user space control. Do we want to keep this, or should we say any MAC which does not call phy_support_eee() before phy_start() would have EEE disabled in the PHY? Andrew

However, if we did what you mention, we'd silently change the behavior of several drivers, resulting in disabled EEE and higher power consumption. I briefly grepped the kernel source for phy_start() and found about 70 drivers. Some of them have the phylib EEE call, and in some cases like cpsw the MAC doesn't support EEE. But what remains is IMO too many drivers where we'd change the behavior. > Andrew Heiner

So for phylib, we keep with the three states. But phylink? Can we disable EEE when the MAC says nothing? Andrew

If a MAC driver doesn't support EEE, then the PHY shouldn't advertise it. Add phy_disable_eee() for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com> --- drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c | 16 ++++++++++++++++ include/linux/phy.h | 1 + 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+)
