net: stmmac: Disable EEE RX clock stop when VLAN is enabled
commit c171e67 upstream.
On the Renesas RZ/V2H EVK platform, where the stmmac MAC is connected to a
Microchip KSZ9131RNXI PHY, creating or deleting VLAN interfaces may fail
with timeouts:
# ip link add link end1 name end1.5 type vlan id 5
15c40000.ethernet end1: Timeout accessing MAC_VLAN_Tag_Filter
RTNETLINK answers: Device or resource busy
Disabling EEE at runtime avoids the problem:
# ethtool --set-eee end1 eee off
# ip link add link end1 name end1.5 type vlan id 5
# ip link del end1.5
The stmmac hardware requires the receive clock to be running when writing
certain registers, such as those used for MAC address configuration or
VLAN filtering. However, by default the driver enables Energy Efficient
Ethernet (EEE) and allows the PHY to stop the receive clock when the link
is idle. As a result, the RX clock might be stopped when attempting to
access these registers, leading to timeouts and other issues.
Commit dd55726 ("net: stmmac: block PHY RXC clock-stop")
addressed this issue for most register accesses by wrapping them in
phylink_rx_clk_stop_block()/phylink_rx_clk_stop_unblock() calls.
However, VLAN add/delete operations may be invoked with bottom halves
disabled, where sleeping is not allowed, so using these helpers is not
possible.
Therefore, to fix this, disable the RX clock stop feature in the phylink
configuration if VLAN features are set. This ensures the RX clock remains
active and register accesses succeed during VLAN operations.
