The VSC8574 PHY is a 4-ports PHY that is 10/100/1000BASE-T, 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-X and triple-speed copper SFP capable, can communicate with the MAC via SGMII, QSGMII or 1000BASE-X, supports WOL, downshifting and can set the blinking pattern of each of its 4 LEDs, supports SyncE as well as HP Auto-MDIX detection. This adds support for 10/100/1000BASE-T, SGMII/QSGMII link with the MAC, WOL, downshifting, HP Auto-MDIX detection and blinking pattern for its 4 LEDs. The VSC8574 has also an internal Intel 8051 microcontroller whose firmware needs to be patched when the PHY is reset. If the 8051's firmware has the expected CRC, its patching can be skipped. The microcontroller can be accessed from any port of the PHY, though the CRC function can only be done through the PHY that is the base PHY of the package (internal address 0) due to a limitation of the firmware. The GPIO register bank is a set of registers that are common to all PHYs in the package. So any modification in any register of this bank affects all PHYs of the package. If the PHYs haven't been reset before booting the Linux kernel and were configured to use interrupts for e.g. link status updates, it is required to clear the interrupts mask register of all PHYs before being able to use interrupts with any PHY. The first PHY of the package that will be init will take care of clearing all PHYs interrupts mask registers. Thus, we need to keep track of the init sequence in the package, if it's already been done or if it's to be done. Most of the init sequence of a PHY of the package is common to all PHYs in the package, thus we use the SMI broadcast feature which enables us to propagate a write in one register of one PHY to all PHYs in the same package.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
