Ioana Ciornei says: ==================== dpaa2-mac: add support for changing the protocol at runtime This patch set adds support for changing the Ethernet protocol at runtime on Layerscape SoCs which have the Lynx 28G SerDes block. The first two patches add a new generic PHY driver for the Lynx 28G and the bindings file associated. The driver reads the PLL configuration at probe time (the frequency provided to the lanes) and determines what protocols can be supported. Based on this the driver can deny or approve a request from the dpaa2-mac to setup a new protocol. The next 2 patches add some MC APIs for inquiring what is the running version of firmware and setting up a new protocol on the MAC. Moving along, we extract the code for setting up the supported interfaces on a MAC on a different function since in the next patches will update the logic. In the next patch, the dpaa2-mac is updated so that it retrieves the SerDes PHY based on the OF node and in case of a major reconfig, call the PHY driver to set up the new protocol on the associated lane and the MC firmware to reconfigure the MAC side of things. Finally, the LX2160A dtsi is annotated with the SerDes PHY nodes for the 1st SerDes block. Beside this, the LX2160A Clearfog dtsi is annotated with the 'phys' property for the exposed SFP cages. Changes in v2: - 1/8: add MODULE_LICENSE Changes in v3: - 2/8: fix 'make dt_binding_check' errors - 7/8: reverse order of dpaa2_mac_start() and phylink_start() - 7/8: treat all RGMII variants in dpmac_eth_if_mode - 7/8: remove the .mac_prepare callback - 7/8: ignore PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA in validate Changes in v4: - 1/8: remove the DT nodes parsing - 1/8: add an xlate function - 2/8: remove the children phy nodes for each lane - 7/8: rework the of_phy_get if statement - 8/8: remove the DT nodes for each lane and the lane id in the phys phandle Changes in v5: - 2/8: use phy as the name of the DT node in the example ==================== 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.
