Antoine Tenart says: ==================== net: mvpp2: MAC/GoP configuration This is based on net-next (e2a7c34fb285). I removed the GoP interrupt and PHY optional parts in this v2 to ease the review process as the MAC/GoP initialization seemed to start less discussions :) This series now only aims at making the PPv2 driver less depending on the firmware/bootloader initialization. Some patches cleanup some parts as well, and add new interface descriptions in the dt. The current implementation of the PPv2 driver relies on the firmware/bootloader initialization to configure some parts, as the Group of Ports (GoP) and the MACs (GMAC and/or XLG MAC --for 10G--). The drawback is the kernel must be configured to match exactly what the bootloader configures which is not convenient and is an issue when using boards having an Ethernet port and an SFP port wired to the same GoP port, as no dynamic configuration can be done. This series adds the GoP and GMAC/XLG MAC initializations so that the PPV2 does not have to rely on a previous initialization. One part is still missing from this series, and that would be the 'comphy' which provides shared serdes PHYs and which must be configured as well for a full kernel initialization to work. This comphy support will be part of a following up series. (This series was also tested with this 'comphy' support, as it's nearly ready). @Dave: patches 9 and 10 should go through the mvebu tree.

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.
