Honored ContributorThe MAC I am using is Marvell 88E1116R. It was reported as unknown during startup, so I added a PHY profile for it and after that it was not reported as unknown. First I did not add a link_status_read function to it, but after seeing your post I added one. Now it sets the MAC to the same speed as the PHY during startup, but it will not change speed later if the PHY speed changes. The link_status_read function is only called once during startup so if the link speed changes later PHY speed is changed but not the MAC speed. To get around the problem I poll the MDIO status register for the PHY speed and update the MAC speed. But I would like to have the driver handle the speed changes.
