The Allwinner H616/H618 secondary EMAC is commonly connected to a Fast
Ethernet PHY in an X-Powers AC200 or AC300 companion package. The two
packages expose the same link PHY ID and largely compatible link-side
registers, but require different control paths before those registers can
be accessed: AC200 is initialized through its I2C MFD, while AC300 uses a
non-PHY Clause 22 control endpoint.
Some H616-family products were shipped with either package under the same
board identity. For those systems, this series uses a SID NVMEM field to
select the control provider at run time. With CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC, the link
PHY enables only the selected fail-needs-probe provider, so an AC300 board
does not probe the unused AC200 I2C controller or claim its pins. The same
drivers also support fixed descriptions without CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC: a board
can reference one enabled provider, or enable both candidates when runtime
selection is still required.
The series adds:
- the H616 EMAC1 binding, stmmac variant and controller node;
- generic MDIO OF reconfiguration support for PHYs, packages, scanned
addresses and generic MDIO devices;
- the AC200 MFD and AC200/AC300 EPHY control providers;
- the shared AC200/AC300 link-PHY driver, including calibration, power and
reset sequencing, MDI/MDI-X, statistics, EDPD, PHY-managed EEE, package
LEDs, interrupts and Wake-on-LAN; and
- H6 and H616-family device-tree descriptions and arm64 defconfig support.
The AC200 and AC300 control and link paths were exercised on H616-family
hardware during development, including link traffic, address handling,
ethtool EDPD/EEE controls, statistics and LEDs. The H6 interrupt and
Wake-on-LAN description still needs validation by an H6 hardware user.
This series depends on Richard Genoud's v7 H616 PWM controller series,
which provides the bypass clock used by the companion EPHY:

The PWM patches are an external prerequisite and are intentionally not
included in this 21-patch series.
