Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Add RJ45 ports support We are in the process of qualifying a new system that has RJ45 ports as opposed to the transceiver modules (e.g., SFP, QSFP) present on all existing systems. This patchset adds support for these ports in mlxsw by adding a couple of missing BaseT link modes and rejecting ethtool operations that are specific to transceiver modules. Patchset overview: Patches #1-#3 are cleanups and preparations. Patch #4 adds support for two new link modes. Patches #5-#6 query and cache the port module's type (e.g., QSFP, RJ45) during initialization. Patches #7-#9 forbid ethtool operations that are invalid on RJ45 ports. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
