microchip: lan865x: Fix LAN8651 autoloading

2025-08-30T02:42:07Z

Add missing IDs for LAN8651 devices, which are also defined in the DT bindings.

microchip: lan865x: Fix module autoloading

2025-08-30T02:42:07Z

Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(), so modules could be properly autoloaded based on the alias from spi_device_id table. While at this, fix the misleading variable name (spidev is unrelated to this driver).

microchip: lan865x: add ndo_eth_ioctl handler to enable PHY ioctl support

2025-08-30T02:11:54Z

Introduce support for standard MII ioctl operations in the LAN865x Ethernet driver by implementing the .ndo_eth_ioctl callback. This allows PHY-related ioctl commands to be handled via phy_do_ioctl_running() and enables support for ethtool and other user-space tools that rely on ioctl interface to perform PHY register access using commands like SIOCGMIIREG and SIOCSMIIREG. This feature enables improved diagnostics and PHY configuration capabilities from userspace.

microchip: lan865x: fix missing Timer Increment config for Rev.B0/B1

2025-08-20T02:38:25Z

Fix missing configuration for LAN865x silicon revisions B0 and B1 as per Microchip Application Note AN1760 (Rev F, June 2024). The Timer Increment register was not being set, which is required for accurate timestamping. As per the application note, configure the MAC to set timestamping at the end of the Start of Frame Delimiter (SFD), and set the Timer Increment register to 40 ns (corresponding to a 25 MHz internal clock).

microchip: lan865x: fix missing netif_start_queue() call on device open

2025-08-20T02:38:25Z

This fixes an issue where the transmit queue is started implicitly only the very first time the device is registered. When the device is taken down and brought back up again (using `ip` or `ifconfig`), the transmit queue is not restarted, causing packet transmission to hang. Adding an explicit call to netif_start_queue() in lan865x_net_open() ensures the transmit queue is properly started every time the device is reopened.

microchip: lan865x: add driver support for Microchip's LAN865X MAC-PHY

2024-09-12T03:53:46Z

The LAN8650/1 is designed to conform to the OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x MAC-PHY Serial Interface specification, Version 1.1. The IEEE Clause 4 MAC integration provides the low pin count standard SPI interface to any microcontroller therefore providing Ethernet functionality without requiring MAC integration within the microcontroller. The LAN8650/1 operates as an SPI client supporting SCLK clock rates up to a maximum of 25 MHz. This SPI interface supports the transfer of both data (Ethernet frames) and control (register access). By default, the chunk data payload is 64 bytes in size. The Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) module implements a 10 Mbps half duplex Ethernet MAC, compatible with the IEEE 802.3 standard. 10BASE-T1S physical layer transceiver integrated is into the LAN8650/1. The PHY and MAC are connected via an internal Media Independent Interface (MII).
