[ Upstream commit a20f997010c4ec76eaa55b8cc047d76dcac69f70 ]
By default, DSA drivers should configure CPU and DSA ports to their
maximum speed. In many configurations this is sufficient to make the
link work.
In some cases it is necessary to configure the link to run slower,
e.g. because of limitations of the SoC it is connected to. Or back to
back PHYs are used and the PHY needs to be driven in order to
establish link. In this case, phylink is used.
Only instantiate phylink if it is required. If there is no PHY, or no
fixed link properties, phylink can upset a link which works in the
default configuration.

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.
