Generally, each PHY has their own configuration and it can be done through an external PHY driver. The smsc95xx driver uses only the hard-coded internal PHY configuration. This patch adds phylib support to probe external PHY drivers for configuring external PHYs. The MDI-X configuration for the internal PHYs moves from drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.c to drivers/net/phy/smsc.c. Signed-off-by: Andre Edich <andre.edich@microchip.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
