Some PHY features cannot be queried through MDIO registers and require
alternative driver detection methods.
One such feature is 10G-QXGMII (4 ports of up to 2.5G multiplexed over
a single SerDes lane), or "MUSX" as it is called by Aquantia/Marvell.
The firmware has provisioning to modify some registers which seem
inaccessible for read or write over MDIO, which configure an internal
mux for MUSX. To the host, over MDIO, the system interface appears
indistinguishable from single-port-per-lane USXGMII.
Marvell FAE Ziang You recommended a detection method for this feature
based on a tuple which should hopefully identify the firmware build
uniquely. Most of the tuple items are already printed by
aqr107_chip_info(), and an extra set is the misc ID (reg 1.c41d) and the
misc version (reg 1.c41e). These are auto-generated by the Marvell
firmware tool for formal builds, and should be unique (not my claim).
In addition, at least for the builds provided to NXP and redistributed
here:
https://github.com/nxp-qoriq/qoriq-firmware-aquantia/tree/master
these registers are part of the name, for example in
AQR-G3_v4.3.C-AQR_NXP_SPF-30841_MUSX_ID40019_VER1198.cld, reg 1.c41d
will contain 40019 and reg 1.c41e will contain 1198.

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.
