Hi @EvilOlaf and @igorpecovnik, I would appreciate your guidance on how to proceed with this PR. Has anyone had a chance to test these Linux 7.2 On my side, the changes have been running stably for an extended period on the MT7981B-based GL-MT2500. However, I do not have access to other Filogic hardware, so I cannot validate the changes on BPI-R3, BPI-R4, or other MT7986/MT7988 devices. Would you prefer that I keep this PR as a draft until more hardware test results are available, or is the GL-MT2500 validation sufficient to mark it as ready for review and consider merging it, with any device-specific issues addressed in follow-up fixes? Please also let me know if any additional testing, patch-series cleanup, or other changes are needed before formal review. Thank you. |

Bananapi R4 is community supported board and we don't have any Filogic device in the test lab. I would say just proceed, try not to drop R4 related symbols. EDGE branch is anyway for experimenting with. Ping @chainsx @tabrisnet if they wanna jump on this. |

@igorpecovnik Thank you for the guidance. The main goal of this change is to migrate Filogic I have tried to preserve the kernel configuration options and patches required by the BPI-R4. However, since I do not have an R4 available, I cannot guarantee that all of its functionality works correctly, so thorough testing on real hardware is still needed. |

@tabrisnet Thank you for the additional context about the BPI-R4. As I understand it, the Depending on how this work progresses, my next step may be to move directly to Linux 7.3 and continue updating the corresponding Armbian patches alongside upstream kernel releases. Of course, the BPI-R4 DT, SFP+, and PCIe support will still need to be verified on actual hardware. |

No worries, just proceed with your plan. R4 will be addressed (if) later. |

Inline comments:
In
`@patch/kernel/archive/filogic-7.2/patches.bpi/0005-net-phylink-introduce-internal-phylink-PCS-handling.patch`:
- Around line 336-338: Preserve PCS-contributed interface modes across phylink
stop/start cycles by removing the supported_interfaces reset in phylink_stop(),
or rebuilding the complete mask from pl->pcs_list during phylink_start(). Ensure
interfaces supplied only by PCS entries remain available for subsequent PHY or
SFP validation.
In
`@patch/kernel/archive/filogic-7.2/patches.bpi/0006-net-phylink-add-phylink_release_pcs-to-externally-re.patch`:
- Around line 62-64: Update phylink_release_pcs() so it can remove and release a
PCS even when phylink_stop() has cleared pcs->phylink. Track PCS list ownership
independently of the active pcs->phylink attachment, and ensure the stopped PCS
is removed from pl->pcs_list before provider teardown.
In
`@patch/kernel/archive/filogic-7.2/patches.bpi/0008-net-phylink-support-late-PCS-provider-attach.patch`:
- Around line 173-175: Implement unregister_fwnode_pcs_notifier() and call it
from phylink_destroy() before kfree(pl) whenever pl->fwnode_pcs_nb was
registered, pairing the registration in the late-PCS attach path with teardown
so no notifier references freed struct phylink memory.
- Around line 173-175: Move the pl->config = config assignment in the phylink
initialization flow to before register_fwnode_pcs_notifier() is called, ensuring
pcs_provider_notify() can safely access pl->config->dev during notifier
registration.
- Around line 79-90: Update the loop around fwnode_parse_pcsspec in the PCS
lookup function to save whether pcsspec.fwnode matches pcs_fwnode, release
pcsspec.fwnode with fwnode_handle_put() after every successful parse, and then
break or continue based on the saved comparison; preserve returning
fwnode_pcs_get(fwnode, i) for the selected entry.
In
`@patch/kernel/archive/filogic-7.2/patches.bpi/0013-net-pcs-pcs-mtk-lynxi-add-platform-driver-for-MT7988.patch`:
- Line 270: Update the probe path immediately after acquiring mpcs->rstc with
of_reset_control_get_shared() to register managed cleanup that balances the
reset state and calls reset_control_put() on every later exit, including
deferred probes. Use the existing driver reset-control lifecycle and preserve
normal probe behavior.
- Around line 148-156: Update the Lynxi PCS enable callback around the
clock-enable and phy_power_on calls to check each return value, unwind any
previously enabled clocks or PHY on failure, and return the error instead of
reporting success; apply this in
patch/kernel/archive/filogic-7.2/patches.bpi/0013-net-pcs-pcs-mtk-lynxi-add-platform-driver-for-MT7988.patch
lines 148-156. In
patch/kernel/archive/filogic-7.2/patches.bpi/0015-net-pcs-add-driver-for-MediaTek-USXGMII-PCS.patch
lines 459-465, return and propagate the result of phy_power_on() directly.
- Line 274: Check the return value of reset_control_deassert() in both PCS probe
paths before continuing: in
0013-net-pcs-pcs-mtk-lynxi-add-platform-driver-for-MT7988.patch at lines
274-274, handle failure before clock acquisition; in
0015-net-pcs-add-driver-for-MediaTek-USXGMII-PCS.patch at lines 537-537, handle
failure before provider registration. Return the error and avoid registering
hardware when reset deassertion fails.
In
`@patch/kernel/archive/filogic-7.2/patches.bpi/0014-dt-bindings-net-pcs-add-bindings-for-MediaTek-USXGMI.patch`:
- Around line 62-68: Update the USXGMII binding schema used by
mtk_usxgmii_probe() to define a single phys property, include phys in required
alongside the existing mandatory fields, and add the corresponding PHY reference
to the binding example.
- Around line 62-68: Update the PCS binding schema to declare “#pcs-cells” as a
required property with a constant value of zero, matching
fwnode_pcs_simple_get() and fwnode_phylink_pcs_parse() handle resolution. Add
“#pcs-cells = <0>;” to the binding example.
In
`@patch/kernel/archive/filogic-7.2/patches.bpi/0015-net-pcs-add-driver-for-MediaTek-USXGMII-PCS.patch`:
- Line 47: Replace the PHY_MTK_PEXTP implication in the USXGMII PCS Kconfig
entry with a mandatory dependency so PHY_MTK_PEXTP cannot remain disabled when
this driver is enabled. Preserve the existing driver configuration while
ensuring probe prerequisites are always selected.
In
`@patch/kernel/archive/filogic-7.2/patches.bpi/0016-net-ethernet-mtk_eth_soc-add-more-DMA-monitor-for-MT.patch`:
- Around line 68-69: Update the prior-FSM comparisons in the monitor logic using
a consistent representation: normalize both current and previous FSM states with
the same zero-state convention, or compare raw FSM fields on both sides. Ensure
the checks involving cur_fsm_tx, cur_fsm_rx, and pre_fsm remain true for
repeated identical stalled samples so the TDMA recovery counter can reach its
threshold.
In
`@patch/kernel/archive/filogic-7.2/patches.bpi/0025-net-ethernet-mtk_eth_soc-support-forced-reset-contro.patch`:
- Line 42: Update the eth->reset.force initialization in mtk_probe() to one so
transmit-timeout and DMA-hang recovery remain enabled by default; if the debugfs
reset node is intended to toggle this flag, also make its reset entry writable
so the reset handler can be reached through normal writes.
In
`@patch/kernel/archive/filogic-7.2/patches.bpi/0030-net-mediatek-change-mt7986-from-RSS-to-LRO-only-1-po.patch`:
- Line 50: Restore RX_DMA_L4_VALID_V2 for the MT7981 configuration by reverting
the change to the dma_l4_valid initializer. Keep the MT7981 descriptor checksum
mask aligned with its NetSys v2/RSS behavior and the existing mtk_poll_rx
interpretation.

Permit and require the PHY used by the driver.
mtk_usxgmii_probe() calls devm_of_phy_get() and treats every error as fatal. This binding does not define phys, and additionalProperties: false rejects that property.
Add a single phys entry to properties and required. Update the example with the required PHY reference.

Linux reset controller API devm_reset_control_get_shared release reset_control_deassert shared deassert_count reset_control_assert official source
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In the Linux kernel's reset controller API, shared reset controls utilize reference counting to manage the state of a physical reset line [1][2]. When a reset control is requested as shared via devm_reset_control_get_shared, the reset core maintains a deassert_count [1][3]. Key behaviors for shared reset controls include: 1. Deassertion and Assertion: The reset core tracks calls to reset_control_deassert and reset_control_assert [1][3]. The physical reset line is only deasserted on the first call to reset_control_deassert (when the count increments to one) and is only (re-)asserted when reset_control_assert has been called as many times as reset_control_deassert was called (returning the count to zero) [1][3]. 2. Constraints: - Calls to reset_control_assert and reset_control_deassert must be balanced [1][4]. - Calling reset_control_assert without first calling reset_control_deassert is not permitted [3][5]. - Using reset_control_reset on shared reset lines is forbidden when reset_control_assert or reset_control_deassert have been used [6][7]. - Because multiple consumers may be using a shared reset, consumer drivers should assume the reset line may remain deasserted at all times; the API only guarantees the line will not be asserted as long as any consumer has requested it to be deasserted [1][8]. 3. Resource Management: The devm_reset_control_get_shared function is a resource-managed version that ensures the reset control is automatically released upon driver detach [6][3]. For implementation details, refer to the official Linux kernel documentation for the Reset Controller API [1][2] and the core implementation in drivers/reset/core.c [6].

Balance the shared reset deassertion.
mtk_usxgmii_probe() calls reset_control_deassert(mpcs->reset), but neither the provider-registration failure path nor mtk_usxgmii_remove() calls reset_control_assert(). Releasing the devm reset handle only releases the handle. It does not decrement the shared reset's deassert count. The active count can prevent another consumer from asserting the reset.
Register a managed assertion action immediately after the successful deassertion, as the LynxI probe does.

Close the gap between PCS enumeration and notifier registration.
A provider can register after the initial PCS enumeration but before this notifier registration. The provider event is then lost, so this phylink instance never attaches that PCS.
Register before enumeration, or perform a synchronized rescan after registration. Prevent duplicate insertion if registration and the rescan observe the same provider.

May need to consider definition of "rarely".
I've certainly seen cases where stuff from Frank-w's branches have been merged into longterm upstream branches, thus breaking the patcher. Or changes from elsewhere doing similar things just different enough to break patches.
but again, what is "rare", what risk is acceptable, what is desired effort level.

I'm curious that there's so few changes from 6.16 vs 7.2.

Description
This is a WIP proposal to move the Filogic
edgetarget to the official Linux 7.2 stable branch and keep GL.iNet GL-MT2500 support working on that kernel.The change:
edgefrom 6.16 tolinux-7.2.y;rootdelay=10from the GL-MT2500 command line.The patch archive README documents how the original 6.16 patch range was audited, including patches that were ported, already upstream, or intentionally excluded.
WIP / feedback requested
I only have a GL-MT2500 available for hardware testing. This PR changes the shared Filogic
edgekernel and includes compatibility patches used by other Filogic/BPI boards, so it needs testing by users who own those devices before it is ready to merge.In particular, feedback and test reports are requested for other Filogic boards, especially BPI-R3/BPI-R4 and MT7986/MT7988 devices, covering boot, storage, Ethernet/PHY/PCS, and reboot/shutdown behavior.
Maintainer guidance would also be appreciated on:
edgefamily to 7.2 is appropriate now;No issue reference.
How Has This Been Tested?
