Subject: airoha: use in-band phylink for RTL8261N USXGMII ports in W1700k
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3cc55ea28c2b4322c95b3d32d01dae3c32971aed;p=thirdparty%2Fopenwrt.git

airoha: use in-band phylink for RTL8261N USXGMII ports in W1700k

After the standalone Airoha PCS driver and pcs-handle binding, wan (gdm2)
and lan2 (gdm4) netdevs probe but do not pass traffic.

Similar to the Aeonsemi PHY it seems also the RTL PHY needs in-band to the
PCS for USXGMII to work correctly. This still needs to be better
investigated but in the meantime lets apply this workaround to restore
traffic.
