Following base r336281 the onboard NIC on ThunderX boards fails to load properly with the BGX driver (specifically on MT30-GS2, but it likely applies to others). In particular, during boot it warns: bgx0: Could not find matching PHY and vnic setup via iovctl fails. Manually removing the check in base r336281 fixes this warning and allows the vnic setup to complete successfully.
Can you provide the FDT for this system? Output of "ofwdump -ap" or "sysctl -b hw.fdt | dtc -I dtb -I dts".
Created attachment 210001 [details] output from ofwdump on thunderX Attached output from ofwdump. The other command bails out with "Failed to Parse Tree". The fun part of the ofwdump is probably: # cat ofwdump.txt | grep xfi Node 0x408c: xfi00 Node 0x40f0: xfi01 Node 0x4154: xfi02 Node 0x41b8: xfi03 Node 0x46e4: xfi00 Node 0x4728: xfi01 Node 0x476c: xfi02 Node 0x47b0: xfi03
Created attachment 210009 [details] proposed patch (In reply to Marcel from comment #2) Thanks. Instead of reverting r336281 can you try the attached patch?
(In reply to Mark Johnston from comment #3) Appears to do the trick: # dmesg | grep bgx bgx0: <ThunderX BGX Ethernet I/O Interface> mem 0x87e0e0000000-0x87e0e03fffff,0x87e0e0400000-0x87e0e07fffff at device 0.128 on pci1 bgx1: <ThunderX BGX Ethernet I/O Interface> mem 0x87e0e1000000-0x87e0e13fffff,0x87e0e1400000-0x87e0e17fffff at device 0.129 on pci1
(In reply to Marcel from comment #4) Thank you.
