ethtool: introduce PHY MSE diagnostics UAPI and drivers
This series introduces a generic kernel-userspace API for retrieving PHY
Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, together with netlink integration,
a fast-path reporting hook in LINKSTATE_GET, and initial driver
implementations for the KSZ9477 and DP83TD510E PHYs.
MSE is defined by the OPEN Alliance "Advanced diagnostic features for
100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification [1] as a measure of
slicer error rate, typically used internally to derive the Signal
Quality Indicator (SQI). While SQI is useful as a normalized quality
index, it hides raw measurement data, varies in scaling and thresholds
between vendors, and may not indicate certain failure modes - for
example, cases where autonegotiation would fail even though SQI reports
a good link. In practice, such scenarios can only be investigated in
fixed-link mode; here, MSE can provide an empirically estimated value
indicating conditions under which autonegotiation would not succeed.
Example output with current implementation:
root@DistroKit:~ ethtool lan1
Settings for lan1:
...
Speed: 1000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
...
Link detected: yes
SQI: 5/7
MSE: 3/127 (channel: worst)
root@DistroKit:~ ethtool --show-mse lan1
MSE diagnostics for lan1:
MSE Configuration:
Max Average MSE: 127
Refresh Rate: 2000000 ps
Symbols per Sample: 250
Supported capabilities: average channel-a channel-b channel-c
channel-d worst
MSE Snapshot (Channel: a):
Average MSE: 4
MSE Snapshot (Channel: b):
Average MSE: 3
MSE Snapshot (Channel: c):
Average MSE: 2
MSE Snapshot (Channel: d):
Average MSE: 3

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
