read_status and config_aneg are the only mandatory callbacks and most of the time the generic implementation is used by drivers. So make the core fall back to the generic version if a driver doesn't implement the respective callback. Also currently the core doesn't seem to verify that drivers implement the mandatory calls. If a driver doesn't do so we'd just get a NPE. With this patch this potential issue doesn't exit any longer.

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.
