Currently the PHY management type is selected by the MAC driver arbitrary. The decision is based on the presence of the "fixed-link" node and on a will of the driver's authors. This caused a regression recently, when mvneta driver suddenly started to use the in-band status for auto-negotiation on fixed links. It appears the auto-negotiation may not work when expected by the MAC driver. Sebastien Rannou explains: << Yes, I confirm that my HW does not generate an in-band status. AFAIK, it's a PHY that aggregates 4xSGMIIs to 1xQSGMII ; the MAC side of the PHY (with inband status) is connected to the switch through QSGMII, and in this context we are on the media side of the PHY. >> https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/10/206 This patch introduces the new string property 'managed' that allows the user to set the management type explicitly. The supported values are: "auto" - default. Uses either MDIO or nothing, depending on the presence of the fixed-link node "in-band-status" - use in-band status Signed-off-by: Stas Sergeev <stsp@users.sourceforge.net> CC: Rob Herring <robh+dt@kernel.org> CC: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@arm.com> CC: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> CC: Ian Campbell <ijc+devicetree@hellion.org.uk> CC: Kumar Gala <galak@codeaurora.org> CC: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> CC: Grant Likely <grant.likely@linaro.org> CC: devicetree@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org CC: netdev@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: David S.
