The APIs can be used by Ethernet drivers without actually loading a PHY driver. This may become more widespread in the future with 802.3z compatible MAC PCS devices being locally driven by the MAC driver when configuring for a PHY mode with in-band negotiation. Check that drv is not NULL before reading from it. Signed-off-by: Alex Marginean <alexandru.marginean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> 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.
