Tao Ren says: ==================== net: phy: support 1000Base-X auto-negotiation for BCM54616S This patch series aims at supporting auto negotiation when BCM54616S is running in 1000Base-X mode: without the patch series, BCM54616S PHY driver would report incorrect link speed in 1000Base-X mode. Patch #1 (of 3) modifies assignment to OR when dealing with dev_flags in phy_attach_direct function, so that dev_flags updated in BCM54616S PHY's probe callback won't be lost. Patch #2 (of 3) adds several genphy_c37_* functions to support clause 37 1000Base-X auto-negotiation, and these functions are called in BCM54616S PHY driver. Patch #3 (of 3) detects BCM54616S PHY's operation mode and calls according genphy_c37_* functions to configure auto-negotiation and parse link attributes (speed, duplex, and etc.) in 1000Base-X mode. ==================== 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.
