Russell King says: ==================== net: pcs: xpcs: cleanups batch 1 First, sorry for the bland series subject - this is the first in a number of cleanup series to the XPCS driver. This series has some functional changes beyond merely cleanups, notably the first patch. This series starts off with a patch that moves the PCS reset from the xpcs_create*() family of calls to when phylink first configures the PHY. The motivation for this change is to get rid of the interface argument to the xpcs_create*() functions, which I see as unnecessary complexity. This patch should be tested on Wangxun and STMMAC drivers. Patch 2 removes the now unnecessary interface argument from the internal xpcs_create() and xpcs_init_iface() functions. With this, xpcs_init_iface() becomes a misnamed function, but patch 3 removes this function, moving its now meager contents to xpcs_create(). Patch 4 adds xpcs_destroy_pcs() and xpcs_create_pcs_mdiodev() functions which return and take a phylink_pcs, allowing SJA1105 and Wangxun drivers to be converted to using the phylink_pcs structure internally. Patches 5 through 8 convert both these drivers to that end. Patch 9 drops the interface argument from the remaining xpcs_create*() functions, addressing the only remaining caller of these functions, that being the STMMAC driver. As patch 7 removed the direct calls to the XPCS config/link-up functions, the last patch makes these functions static. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/ZvwdKIp3oYSenGdH@shell.armlinux.org.uk Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
