Florian Fainelli says: ==================== PHYLINK preparatory patches for DSA In preparation for having DSA migrate to PHYLINK, I had to come up with a number of preparatory patches: - we need to be able to pass phy_flags from an external component calling phylink_of_phy_connect() - DSA tries to connect through OF first, then fallsback using its own internal MDIO bus, in that case we would both show an error, but also not know what the correct phy_interface_t would be, instead use the PHY device/driver provided one - Finally bcm_sf2 makes use of all possible PHYs out there: internal, external, fixed, and MoCA, the latter requires a bit of help to signal link notifications through a MMIO interrupt, as well a report a correct PORT type Changes in v2: - rebased against latest net-next/master - added kernel doc documentation - dropped error message in phylink_of_phy_connect() as suggested by Russell ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
