All notable changes to the project are documented in this file.
Fixes mvls to work with kernels 6.2 and onwards.
- mdio: Multiple registers can now be dumped at once, via the generic dump operation.
- mvls: Relax the driver matching to accept the strings used in kernels 6.2 and newer.
Primarily widen the gamut of supported kernel versions, now supporting all kernels from 5.2 and onwards.
- mvls: Support for 88E6320/88E6321
- mdio-netlink: Adapt to the upstream C22/C45 refactor.
- mdio: A new addressing mode "mmd-c22": Used to access MMDs attached to MDIO controllers without Clause 45 support by using registers 13 and 14 in the device's Clause 22 register space
- mdio: Pretty print gigabit link capability information from a PHY's extended status register
- mdio: Pretty print lots of status information from MMDs (C45 PHYs)
- mvls: Decode priority override information of ATU entries
- mvls: Table listings now always prints out the device information, even on single chip systems.
Tiny bugfix release.
- mdio: The bench operation is now much more reliable when stacked on other devices than regular PHYs (e.g. paged PHYs or Marvell switches).
- mvls: The STU can now be dumped chips from the Peridot generation.
A sprawling release, adding various mvls related introspection features. mvls also gains a JSON output format.
- mvls: The STU can now be dumped (requires Linux 5.17 or later). This is useful now that mv88e6xxx supports offloading of MST states
- mvls: Output can now be formatted as JSON for easier scripting
- mdio: mvls: A subset of MIB counters can now be dumped. This let's you get at counters for DSA ports, which are not reachable from ethtool
- mdio: mvls: The LAG mask and LAG map tables can now be dumped
- mdio: Improve usage message by including the examples from the manual
Primarily fixes a few issues in the kernel module that were found during a quick review from Russell King:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/YYPThd7aX+TBWslz@shell.armlinux.org.uk/ https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/YYPU1gOvUPa00JWg@shell.armlinux.org.uk/
- mdio: The mvls subcommand now supports flushing the ATU
- mdio-netlink: Plug some glaring holes around integer overflows of the PC.
- mdio-netlink: Release reference to MDIO bus after a transaction completes.
v1.0.0 - 2021-09-17
- Basic usage text,
mvls -h
- Manuals
- Reworked command syntax to be more ergonomic
- Improved error output
- Fix #4: buffer alignment on Arm9 systems
- References to the dump operation in mdio(8) which is not supported at the moment
Initial public release.
