libphy was originally written assuming all phy devices support clause 45
access extensions to the mmd registers through the indirection registers
located within the first 16 phy registers. This assumption is not true
in all cases, and one specific example is the Micrel ksz9021 10/100/1000
Mbps phy. Using the stmmac driver, accessing the mmd registers to query
and configure energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) features yielded unexpected
behavior.
This patch adds mmd access functions to the phy driver that can be
overriden by the phy specific driver if the phy does not support this
mechanism or uses it's own non-standard access mechanism. By default,
the IEEE Compatible clause 45 access mechanism described in clause 22
is used. With this patch, EEE query/configure functions as expected
using the stmmac and the Micrel ksz9021 phy.

When a PHY device is registered with the special IRQ value
PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT (-2) it will not properly be handled by the PHY
library:
- it continues to poll its register, while we do not want this
because such PHY link events or register changes are serviced by an
Ethernet MAC
- it will still try to configure PHY interrupts at the PHY level, such
interrupts do not exist at the PHY but at the MAC level
- the state machine only handles PHY_POLL, but should also handle
PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT similarly
This patch updates the PHY state machine and initialization paths to
account for the specific PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT. Based on an earlier patch
by Thomas Petazzoni, and reworked to add the missing bits. Add a helper

This patch adds the support for the Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
to the Physical Abstraction Layer.
To support the EEE we have to access to the MMD registers 3.20 and
7.60/61. So two new functions have been added to read/write the MMD
registers (clause 45).
An Ethernet driver (I tested the stmmac) can invoke the phy_init_eee to properly
check if the EEE is supported by the PHYs and it can also set the clock
stop enable bit in the 3.0 register.
The phy_get_eee_err can be used for reporting the number of time where
the PHY failed to complete its normal wake sequence.
In the end, this patch also adds the EEE ethtool support implementing:
o phy_ethtool_set_eee
o phy_ethtool_get_eee
v1: initial patch
v2: fixed some errors especially on naming convention
v3: renamed again the mmd read/write functions thank to Ben's feedback

Other 10G PHYs don't follow the standard manufacturer/device

If the there is an of_node associated with such a PHY, we can match it

get_phy_device() gets a new parameter is_c45 to indicate that the PHY

The pair of functions,
* skb_clone_tx_timestamp()
* skb_complete_tx_timestamp()
were designed to allow timestamping in PHY devices. The first
function, called during the MAC driver's hard_xmit method, identifies
PTP protocol packets, clones them, and gives them to the PHY device
driver. The PHY driver may hold onto the packet and deliver it at a
later time using the second function, which adds the packet to the
socket's error queue.
As pointed out by Johannes, nothing prevents the socket from
disappearing while the cloned packet is sitting in the PHY driver
awaiting a timestamp. This patch fixes the issue by taking a reference
on the socket for each such packet. In addition, the comments
regarding the usage of these function are expanded to highlight the
rule that PHY drivers must use skb_complete_tx_timestamp() to release
the packet, in order to release the socket reference, too.
These functions first appeared in v2.6.36.
