Early generations of the mv88e6xxx did not have the global 2 registers. In order to keep the driver slim, it was decided to make the code for these registers optional. Over time, more generations of switches have been added, always supporting global 2 and adding more and more registers. No effort has been made to keep these additional registers also optional to slim the driver down when used for older generations. Optional global 2 now just gives additional development and maintenance burden for no real gain. Make global 2 support always compiled in.

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.
