Andy Chiu says: ==================== Fix broken link on Xilinx's AXI Ethernet in SGMII mode The Ethernet driver use phy-handle to reference the PCS/PMA PHY. This could be a problem if one wants to configure an external PHY via phylink, since it use the same phandle to get the PHY. To fix this, introduce a dedicated pcs-handle to point to the PCS/PMA PHY and deprecate the use of pointing it with phy-handle. A similar use case of pcs-handle can be seen on dpaa2 as well. --- patch v5 --- - Re-apply the v4 patch on the net tree. - Describe the pcs-handle DT binding at ethernet-controller level. --- patch v6 --- - Remove "preferrably" to clearify usage of pcs_handle. --- patch v7 --- - Rebase the patch on latest net/master --- patch v8 --- - Rebase the patch on net-next/master - Add "reviewed-by" tag in PATCH 3/4: dt-bindings: net: add pcs-handle attribute - Remove "fix" tag in last commit message since this is not a critical bug and will not be back ported to stable. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
