[ Upstream commit 90d4fa39d028f2e46c57c3d0e1b759e5287d98b7 ]
It is incorrect to specify the no-ether-link property for the AVB device on the Ebisu board. This is because the property should only be used when a board does not provide a proper AVB_LINK signal. However, the Ebisu board does provide this signal.
As per 87c059e9c39d ("arm64: dts: renesas: salvator-x: Remove renesas, no-ether-link property") this fixes a bug:
Steps to reproduce: - start AVB TX stream (Using aplay via MSE), - disconnect+reconnect the eth cable, - after a reconnection the eth connection goes iteratively up/down without user interaction, - this may heal after some seconds or even stay for minutes.
As the documentation specifies, the "renesas,no-ether-link" option should be used when a board does not provide a proper AVB_LINK signal. There is no need for this option enabled on RCAR H3/M3 Salvator-X/XS and ULCB starter kits since the AVB_LINK is correctly handled by HW.
Choosing to keep or remove the "renesas,no-ether-link" option will have impact on the code flow in the following ways: - keeping this option enabled may lead to unexpected behavior since the RX & TX are enabled/disabled directly from adjust_link function without any HW interrogation, - removing this option, the RX & TX will only be enabled/disabled after HW interrogation. The HW check is made through the LMON pin in PSR register which specifies AVB_LINK signal value (0 - at low level; 1 - at high level).
In conclusion, the present change is also a safety improvement because it removes the "renesas,no-ether-link" option leading to a proper way of detecting the link state based on HW interrogation and not on software heuristic.
