Enumeration will then continue with the next address on the bus. Modify C45 enumeration so that it also accepts -ENODEV and moves to the next address on the bus, rather than consider -ENODEV as a fatal error. Convert the mv88e6xxx driver to return -ENODEV rather than 0xffff on read for families which do not support C45 bus transactions. This is more efficient, since enumeration will scan multiple devices at one address when 0xffff is returned, where as -EONDEV immediately jumps to the next address on the bus. ==================== Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> 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.
