Currently the link status auto-negotiation is enabled for any SGMII link with fixed-link DT binding. The regression was reported: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/8/865 Apparently not all HW that implements SGMII protocol, generates the inband status for the auto-negotiation to work. More details here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/10/206 The following patches reverts to the old behavior by default, which is to not enable the auto-negotiation for fixed-link. The new DT property is added that allows to explicitly request the auto-negotiation. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- 67b2914b9c3c27d909701c72b0bbed1a97c4b675
