This patch adds a new generic PHY driver to support the Lynx 28G SerDes block found on some of the Layerscape SoCs such as LX2160A. At the moment, only the following Ethernet protocols are supported: SGMII/1000Base-X and 10GBaseR. SerDes lanes which are not running an Ethernet protocol or a currently supported Ethenet protocol will be left as it was configured through the RCW (Reset Configuration Word) at boot time. At probe time, the platform driver will read the current configuration of both PLLs found on a SerDes block and will determine what protocols are supported using that PLL. For example, if a PLL is configured to generate a clock net (frate) of 5GHz the only protocols sustained by that PLL are SGMII/1000Base-X (using a quarter of the full clock rate) and QSGMII using the full clock net frequency on the lane. On the .set_mode() callback, the PHY driver will first check if the requested operating mode (protocol) is even supported by the current PLL configuration and will error out if not. Then, the lane is reconfigured to run on the requested protocol. Signed-off-by: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
