    ice: avoid executing commands on other ports when driving sync · 0aacec49
    Jacob Keller authored
    The ice hardware has a synchronization mechanism used to drive the
    simultaneous application of commands on both PHY ports and the source timer
    in the MAC.
    
    When issuing a sync via ice_ptp_exec_tmr_cmd(), the hardware will
    simultaneously apply the commands programmed for the main timer and each
    PHY port. Neither the main timer command register, nor the PHY port command
    registers auto clear on command execution.
    
    During the execution of a timer command intended for a single port on E822
    devices, such as those used to configure a PHY during link up, the driver
    is not correctly clearing the previous commands.
    
    This results in unintentionally executing the last programmed command on
    the main timer and other PHY ports whenever performing reconfiguration on
    E822 ports after link up. This results in unintended side effects on other
    timers, depending on what command was previously programmed.
    
    To fix this, the driver must ensure that the main timer and all other PHY
    ports are properly initialized to perform no action.
    
    The enumeration for timer commands does not include an enumeration value
    for doing nothing. Introduce ICE_PTP_NOP for this purpose. When writing a
    timer command to hardware, leave the command bits set to zero which
    indicates that no operation should be performed on that port.
    
    Modify ice_ptp_one_port_cmd() to always initialize all ports. For all ports
    other than the one being configured, write their timer command register to
    ICE_PTP_NOP. This ensures that no side effect happens on the timer command.
    
    To fix this for the PHY ports, modify ice_ptp_one_port_cmd() to always
    initialize all other ports to ICE_PTP_NOP. This ensures that no side
    effects happen on the other ports.
    
    Call ice_ptp_src_cmd() with a command value if ICE_PTP_NOP in
    ice_sync_phy_timer_e822() and ice_start_phy_timer_e822().
    
    With both of these changes, the driver should no longer execute a stale
    command on the main timer or another PHY port when reconfiguring one of the
    PHY ports after link up.
