Introduction

ZynqMP SoC has a Serdes/SIOU(Serial Input and Output block) module which provides High Speed Physical interface
for the below High Speed peripherals present in the SoC

USB (2 controllers)
SATA (1 controller with two lanes)
Display Port (1 controller with two lanes)
SGMII (4 controllers)
PCIe (1 controller with four lanes)

The inputs to Serdes is PIPE interface and output from it is are four High speed serial lanes. PHY provides 4 output lanes only for 14(PIPE) inputs (as mentioned above: 2 + 2 + 4 + 2+ 4 = 14). All the inputs are routed to PHY output lanes with a Mux (Interconnect matrix). Only some combinations are valid i.e, one cannot set Mux to use USB1 on lane 0 as such. PHY driver validates dts entries for the correct combination of controller and serdes lanes.

Note:

Due to the new driver introduce in upstream flow, we have (kernel and device flow) configurations based on the release:

Support till 2020.2 release
Support form 2021.1 release

Devicetree

Support till 2020.2 release:

Device nodes should specify the configuration required in their "phys" property, containing a phandle to the phy port node and a device type
The phys property should be as mentioned below:

phys = <PHANDLE CONTOLLER_TYPE CONTROLLER_INSTANCE LANE_NUM LANE_FREQ>;
PHANDLE can be any among &lane0 or &lane1 or &lane2 or &lane3
CONTROLLER_TYPE can be any among PHY_TYPE_PCIE or PHY_TYPE_SATA or PHY_TYPE_USB or PHY_TYPE_DP or PHY_TYPE_SGMII
CONTROLLER_INSTANCE depends on CONTROLLER TYPE used, can be any of below

PHY_TYPE_PCIE : 0 or 1 or 2 or 3
PHY_TYPE_SATA : 0 or 1
PHY_TYPE_USB : 0 or 1
PHY_TYPE_DP : 0 or 1
PHY_TYPE_SGMII: 0 or 1 or 2 or 3

LANE_NUM depends on which lane clock is used as ref clk, can be 0 or 1 or 2 or 3
LANE_FREQ is the Frequency that controller can operate, can be any among 19.2Mhz,20Mhz,24Mhz,26Mhz,27Mhz,28.4Mhz,40Mhz,52Mhz,100Mhz,108Mhz,125Mhz,135Mhz,150Mhz

Example
Below Code should is required for probing the serdes driver. This should be added in zynqmp.dtsi

serdes: zynqmp_phy@fd400000 {
    compatible = "xlnx,zynqmp-psgtr";
    status = "okay";
    reg = <0x0 0xfd400000 0x0 0x40000>, <0x0 0xfd3d0000 0x0 0x1000>,
        <0x0 0xfd1a0000 0x0 0x1000>, <0x0 0xff5e0000 0x0 0x1000>;
    reg-names = "serdes", "siou", "fpd", "lpd";
    xlnx,tx_termination_fix;
 
    lane0: lane@0 {
        #phy-cells = <4>;
    };
    lane1: lane@1 {
        #phy-cells = <4>;
    };
    lane2: lane@2 {
        #phy-cells = <4>;
    };
    lane3: lane@3 {
        #phy-cells = <4>;
    };
};

The below code configures the USB 0 instance to use lane 2 and get 26 MHZ lane refclk from lane 2.

usb@fe200000 {
    ...
    phys = <&&lane2 PHY_TYPE_USB3 0 2 2600000>;
    ...
};

This below code configures the SATA 1 instance to use lane 3 and get 125MHZ lane refclk from lane 1.

ahci@fd0c0000 {
    ...
    phys      = <&&lane3 PHY_TYPE_SATA 1 1 125000000>;
    ...
};

Support form 2021.1 release:

In the new upstreamed flow the below are the changes that need to be added

phys = <PHANDLE LANE_NUM CONTOLLER_TYPE CONTROLLER_INSTANCE LANE_FREQ>;

PHANDLE = &psgtr

LANE_NUM = 0, 1, 2, 3

CONTOLLER_TYPE = PHY_TYPE_PCIE or PHY_TYPE_SATA or PHY_TYPE_USB or PHY_TYPE_DP or PHY_TYPE_SGMII

CONTROLLER_INSTANCE =

Depends on controller type used, can be any of below mentioned

PHY_TYPE_PCIE : 0 or 1 or 2 or 3

PHY_TYPE_SATA : 0 or 1

PHY_TYPE_USB : 0 or 1

PHY_TYPE_DP : 0 or 1

PHY_TYPE_SGMII: 0 or 1 or 2 or 3

LANE_FREQ = refclk number that has the desired frequency

Test Procedure

As this driver is being used by SATA, USB, PCIe, SGMII and DP protocols. Testing the functionality any of those protocols will automatically test this IP.

Expected O/P

Once linux is booted type "grep | gtr" and check whether PLL lock is happening, the below output is expected

root@Xilinx-ZCU102-2016_3:~# dmesg | grep gtr
[    6.575387] xilinx-psgtr fd400000.zynqmp_phy: Lane:3 type:3 protocol:2 pll_locked:yes
[    6.808627] xilinx-psgtr fd400000.zynqmp_phy: Lane:2 type:0 protocol:3 pll_locked:yes
[    7.570858] xilinx-psgtr fd400000.zynqmp_phy: Lane:1 type:8 protocol:4 pll_locked:yes

Mainline Status

The driver is upstreamed into the mainline kernel v5.9-rc1.
