In phylink_parse_fixedlink() the pl->link_config.advertising bits are AND with pl->supported, pl->supported is zeroed and only the speed/duplex modes and MII bits are set. So pl->link_config.advertising always loses the flow control/pause bits.
By setting Pause and Asym_Pause bits in pl->supported, the flow control work again when devicetree "pause" is set in fixes-link node and the MAC advertise that is supports pause. Results with this patch. Legend: - DT = 'Pause' is set in the fixed-link in devicetree. - validate() = ‘Yes’ means phylink_set(mask, Pause) is set in the validate(). - flow = results reported my link is Up line. +-----+------------+-------+ | DT | validate() | flow | +-----+------------+-------+ | Yes | Yes | rx/tx | | No | Yes | off | | Yes | No | off | +-----+------------+-------+ Fixes: 9525ae83959b ("phylink: add phylink infrastructure") Signed-off-by: René van Dorst <opensou...@vdorst.com> --- drivers/net/phy/phylink.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/phy/phylink.c b/drivers/net/phy/phylink.c index 5d0af041b8f9..a6aebaa14338 100644 --- a/drivers/net/phy/phylink.c +++ b/drivers/net/phy/phylink.c @@ -216,6 +216,8 @@ static int phylink_parse_fixedlink(struct phylink *pl, pl->supported, true); linkmode_zero(pl->supported); phylink_set(pl->supported, MII); + phylink_set(pl->supported, Pause); + phylink_set(pl->supported, Asym_Pause); if (s) { __set_bit(s->bit, pl->supported); } else { -- 2.20.1
