The Finisar FCLF8520P2BTL 1000BaseT SFP module uses a Marvel 88E1111 PHY with a modified PHY ID. Add support for this ID using the 88E1111 methods. By default these modules do not have 1000BaseX auto-negotiation enabled, which is not generally desirable with Linux networking drivers. Add handling to enable 1000BaseX auto-negotiation when these modules are used in 1000BaseX mode. Also, some special handling is required to ensure that 1000BaseT auto-negotiation is enabled properly when desired. Based on existing handling in the AMD xgbe driver and the information in the Finisar FAQ: https://www.finisar.com/sites/default/files/resources/an-2036_1000base-t_sfp_faqreve1.pdf Signed-off-by: Robert Hancock <robert.hancock@calian.com> Reviewed-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201028171540.1700032-1-robert.hancock@calian.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
