OpenCores 10/100 Mbps MAC does not support speeds above 100 Mbps, but does
not disable advertisement when PHY supports them. This results in
non-functioning network when the MAC is connected to a gigabit PHY connected
to a gigabit switch.

The fix is to disable gigabit speed advertisement on attached PHY
unconditionally.

Changes v1->v2:
- disable both gigabit advertisement and support.

This does not look necessary, you should not have to call 
phy_start_aneg() because the PHY state machine is not yet started, at 
best this calls does nothing.

This call actually makes the whole thing work, because otherwise once gigabit
support is cleared from the supported mask genphy_config_advert does not
update gigabit advertisement register, leaving it enabled.

Maybe they boot up with gigabit advertisement disabled in their PHY
and thus they don't see the problem?

It's marvell 88E1111 from the KC-705 board, but the behaviour doesn't
change if I disable it and the generic phy is used.

Florian,

I don't see how the generic genphy_config_advert can ever change
gigabit advertisement if phydev->supported has gigabit speeds masked
off. So I'm pretty sure that other 10/100 cards would exhibit the same
issue if their PHY started with gigabit advertisement enabled. Maybe
we need to fix those other drivers? Or maybe we need to track what
PHY really supports vs. what we report it supports, so that gigabit
advertisement could be changed even when the PHY no longer
appears to support gigabit?

It does not, but it makes sure that phydev->advertising gets masked
with phydev->supported. So, prior to starting your PHY state machine,
if you do:

phydev->supported &= PHY_BASIC_FEATURES;
phydev->advertising = phydev->supported;

you should get the expected results. Just make sure that
phydev->autoneg is not set to AUTONEG_DISABLE, otherwise
phy_start_aneg() will not call phy_sanitize_settings(), and this might
be the problem.

If the speed is not restricted, yes that will be the case, but most
drivers seem to correctly set both phydev->supported and
phydev->advertising.

This is supposedly already taken care of provided that you correctly
restrict the PHY supported/advertising bits with respect to what the
HW really supports.
