The generic functions assumed devices provided an MDIO interface (accessed via older mii code, not phylib). This is true only for genuine ethernet. Devices with a higher level of abstraction or based on different technologies do not have MDIO. To support this case, first rename the existing functions with _mii suffix. v2: rebased on changed upstream v3: changed names to clearly say that this does NOT use phylib v4: moved hunks to correct patch; reworded commmit messages Signed-off-by : Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com> Tested-by: Roland Dreier <roland@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@chromium.org> Tested-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> 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.
