Hello Woojung, I am currently working on a project where we use a LAN7801 together with a DP83TC811R phy. The Problem is that if we change link state of the phy to down and up again the LAN7801 is not receiving anything anymore, while sending still works.
I already discussed this on the TI Forums https://e2e.ti.com/support/interface/f/138/t/977492 but I still have no solution. I placed the following code into lan78xx_link_status_change(): ret = lan78xx_read_reg(dev, INT_STS, &buf); if (unlikely(ret < 0)) return; if (buf & INT_STS_MAC_ERR_) { ret = lan78xx_read_reg(dev, ERR_STS, &buf); if (unlikely(ret < 0)) return; netdev_err(dev->net, "MAC Error Interrupt, ERR_STS: 0x%08x\n", buf); ret = lan78xx_write_reg(dev, ERR_STS, 0x3FC); if (unlikely(ret < 0)) return; ret = lan78xx_write_reg(dev, INT_STS, INT_STS_MAC_ERR_); if (unlikely(ret < 0)) return; } If the Link of the phy is going down I see the following output: [ 151.374983] lan78xx 1-1.4:1.0 broadr0: MAC Error Interrupt, ERR_STS: 0x00000308 So the lan7801 seems to detect an INT_STS_MAC_ERR error (where the contents of ERR_STS are not always the same). The Problem is now that the lan7801 does not receive anything from the phy anymore, whereas the phy sends valid data on RGMII if it goes up again. Strangely it is still possible to send data from lan7801, e.g. echo requests are still on the line, but response is not received. The only way I can recover this state is unload/load the lan78xx driver. Does anyone know how to recover the lan7801 to receive data again? Any ideas in which registers/functions to look why rx is not working anymore?
