Ioana Ciornei says: ==================== net: phy: add Lynx PCS MDIO module Add support for the Lynx PCS as a separate module in drivers/net/phy/. The advantage of this structure is that multiple ethernet or switch drivers used on NXP hardware (ENETC, Seville, Felix DSA switch etc) can share the same implementation of PCS configuration and runtime management. The module implements phylink_pcs_ops and exports a phylink_pcs (incorporated into a lynx_pcs) which can be directly passed to phylink through phylink_pcs_set. The first 3 patches add some missing pieces in phylink and the locked mdiobus write accessor. Next, the Lynx PCS MDIO module is added as a standalone module. The majority of the code is extracted from the Felix DSA driver. The last patch makes the necessary changes in the Felix and Seville drivers in order to use the new common PCS implementation. At the moment, USXGMII (only with in-band AN), SGMII, QSGMII (with and without in-band AN) and 2500Base-X (only w/o in-band AN) are supported by the Lynx PCS MDIO module since these were also supported by Felix and no functional change is intended at this time. Changes in v2: * got rid of the mdio_lynx_pcs structure and directly exported the functions without the need of an indirection * made the necessary adjustments for this in the Felix DSA driver * solved the broken allmodconfig build test by making the module tristate instead of bool * fixed a memory leakage in the Felix driver (the pcs structure was allocated twice) Changes in v3: * added support for PHYLINK PCS ops in DSA (patch 5/9) * cleanup in Felix PHYLINK operations and migrate to phylink_mac_link_up() being the callback of choice for applying MAC configuration (patches 6-8) Changes in v4: * use the newly introduced phylink PCS mechanism * install the phylink_pcs in the phylink_mac_config DSA ops * remove the direct implementations of the PCS ops * do no use the SGMII_ prefix when referring to the IF_MORE register * add a phylink helper to decode the USXGMII code word * remove cleanup patches for Felix (these have been already accepted) * Seville (recently introduced) now has PCS support through the same Lynx PCS module Changes in v5: - move the pcs-lynx driver to drivers/net/pcs - reword the commit message a bit in 4/5 - add error checking and error propagation in 4/5 - s/IF_MODE_DUPLEX/IF_MODE_HALF_DUPLEX in 4/5 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
