On systems that use CONFIG_OF_LIVE, the "ofnode" type is defined as const struct device_node *np, while on the flat DT systems it is defined as a long of_offset into gd->fdt_blob. It is desirable that the fixed PHY driver uses the higher-level ofnode abstraction instead of parsing gd->fdt_blob directly, because that enables it to work on live OF systems. The fixed PHY driver has used a nasty hack since its introduction in commit db40c1aa ("drivers/net/phy: add fixed-phy / fixed-link support"), which is to pass the long gd->fdt_blob offset inside int phydev->addr (a value that normally holds the MDIO bus address at which the PHY responds). Even ignoring the fact that the types were already mismatched leading to a potential truncation (flat OF offset was supposed to be a long and not an int), we really cannot extend this hack any longer, because there's no way an int will hold the other representation of ofnode, the struct device_node *np. So we unfortunately need to do the right thing, which is to use the framework introduced by Grygorii Strashko in commit eef0b8a9 ("net: phy: add ofnode node to struct phy_device"). This will populate phydev->node for the fixed PHY. Note that phydev->node will not be valid in the probe function, since that is called synchronously from phy_device_create and we really have no way of passing the ofnode directly through the phy_device_create API. So we do what other drivers do too: we move the OF parsing logic from the .probe to the .config method of the PHY driver. The new function will be called at phy_config() time. I do believe I've converted all the possible call paths for creating a PHY with PHY_FIXED_ID, so there is really no reason to maintain compatibility with the old logic of retrieving a flat OF tree offset from phydev->addr. We just pass 0 to phydev->addr now. Signed-off-by:Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Reviewed-by:
