511cb45260 net: phy: fixed_phy: replace list of fixed PHYs with static array
Due to max 32 PHY addresses being available per mii bus, using a list
can't support more fixed PHY's. And there's no known use case for as
much as 32 fixed PHY's on a system. 8 should be plenty of fixed PHY's,
so use an array of that size instead of a list. This allows to
significantly reduce the code size and complexity.

Ido Schimmel says:

====================
ipv6: Allow for nexthop device mismatch with "onlink"

This patchset aligns IPv6 with IPv4 with respect to the "onlink" keyword
and allows IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified.

Patches #1-#3 are small preparations in the existing "onlink" selftest.

Patch #4 is the actual change. See the commit message for detailed
description and motivation.

Patch #5 adds test cases for both address families, to make sure that
this use case does not regress.

Add test cases that verify that when the "onlink" keyword is specified,
both address families (with and without VRF) accept routes with a
gateway address that is reachable via a different interface than the one
specified.

b853b94e84 ipv6: Allow for nexthop device mismatch with "onlink"
IPv4 allows for a nexthop device mismatch when the "onlink" keyword is
specified:

 # ip link add name dummy1 up type dummy
 # ip address add 192.0.2.1/24 dev dummy1
 # ip link add name dummy2 up type dummy
 # ip route add 198.51.100.0/24 nexthop via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy2
 Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway.
 # ip route add 198.51.100.0/24 nexthop via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy2 onlink
 # echo $?
 0

This seems to be consistent with the description of "onlink" in the
ip-route man page: "Pretend that the nexthop is directly attached to
this link, even if it does not match any interface prefix".

On the other hand, IPv6 rejects a nexthop device mismatch, even when
"onlink" is specified:

 # ip link add name dummy1 up type dummy
 # ip address add 2001:db8:1::1/64 dev dummy1
 # ip link add name dummy2 up type dummy
 # ip route add 2001:db8:10::/64 nexthop via 2001:db8:1::2 dev dummy2
 RTNETLINK answers: No route to host
 # ip route add 2001:db8:10::/64 nexthop via 2001:db8:1::2 dev dummy2 onlink
 Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway or device mismatch.

This is intentional according to commit fc1e64e109 ("net/ipv6: Add
support for onlink flag") which added IPv6 "onlink" support and states
that "any unicast gateway is allowed as long as the gateway is not a
local address and if it resolves it must match the given device".

The condition was later relaxed in commit 4ed591c8ab ("net/ipv6: Allow
onlink routes to have a device mismatch if it is the default route") to
allow for a nexthop device mismatch if the gateway address is resolved
via the default route:

 # ip link add name dummy1 up type dummy
 # ip route add ::/0 dev dummy1
 # ip link add name dummy2 up type dummy
 # ip route add 2001:db8:10::/64 nexthop via 2001:db8:1::2 dev dummy2
 RTNETLINK answers: No route to host
 # ip route add 2001:db8:10::/64 nexthop via 2001:db8:1::2 dev dummy2 onlink
 # echo $?
 0

While the decision to forbid a nexthop device mismatch in IPv6 seems to
be intentional, it is unclear why it was made. Especially when it
differs from IPv4 and seems to go against the intended behavior of
"onlink".

Therefore, relax the condition further and allow for a nexthop device
mismatch when "onlink" is specified:

 # ip link add name dummy1 up type dummy
 # ip address add 2001:db8:1::1/64 dev dummy1
 # ip link add name dummy2 up type dummy
 # ip route add 2001:db8:10::/64 nexthop via 2001:db8:1::2 dev dummy2 onlink
 # echo $?
 0

The motivating use case is the fact that FRR would like to be able to
configure overlay routes of the following form:

 # ip route add <host-Z> vrf <VRF> encap ip id <ID> src <VTEP-A> dst <VTEP-Z> via <VTEP-Z> dev vxlan0 onlink

Where vxlan0 is in the default VRF in which "VTEP-Z" is reachable via
one of the underlay routes (e.g., via swpX). Without this patch, the
above only works with IPv4, but not with IPv6.

0a3419f4ba selftests: fib-onlink: Remove "wrong nexthop device" IPv6 tests
The command in the test fails as expected because IPv6 forbids a nexthop
device mismatch:

 # ./fib-onlink-tests.sh -v
 [...]
 COMMAND: ip -6 ro add table 1101 2001:db8:102::103/128 via 2001:db8:701::64 dev veth5 onlink
 Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway or device mismatch.

 TEST: Gateway resolves to wrong nexthop device - VRF      [ OK ]

Where:

 # ip route get 2001:db8:701::64 vrf lisa
 2001:db8:701::64 dev veth7 table 1101 proto kernel src 2001:db8:701::1 metric 256 pref medium

This is in contrast to IPv4 where a nexthop device mismatch is allowed
when "onlink" is specified:

 # ip route get 169.254.7.2 vrf lisa
 169.254.7.2 dev veth7 table 1101 src 169.254.7.1 uid 0
 # ip ro add table 1101 169.254.102.103/32 via 169.254.7.2 dev veth5 onlink
 # echo $?
 0

Remove these tests in preparation for aligning IPv6 with IPv4 and
allowing nexthop device mismatch when "onlink" is specified.

A subsequent patch will add tests that verify that both address families
allow a nexthop device mismatch with "onlink".

e5566f6b1d selftests: fib-onlink: Remove "wrong nexthop device" IPv4 tests
According to the test description, these tests fail because of a wrong
nexthop device:

 # ./fib-onlink-tests.sh -v
 [...]
 COMMAND: ip ro add table 254 169.254.101.102/32 via 169.254.3.1 dev veth1 onlink
 Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway.

 TEST: Gateway resolves to wrong nexthop device            [ OK ]

 Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway.

 TEST: Gateway resolves to wrong nexthop device - VRF      [ OK ]
 [...]

But this is incorrect. They fail because the gateway addresses are local
addresses:

 # ip -4 address show
 [...]
 28: veth3@if27: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link-netns peer_ns-Urqh3o
     inet 169.254.3.1/24 scope global veth3

 32: veth7@if31: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master lisa state UP group default qlen 1000 link-netns peer_ns-Urqh3o
     inet 169.254.7.1/24 scope global veth7

Therefore, using a local address that matches the nexthop device fails
as well:

 # ip ro add table 254 169.254.101.102/32 via 169.254.3.1 dev veth3 onlink
 Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway.

Using a gateway address with a "wrong" nexthop device is actually valid
and allowed:

 # ip route get 169.254.1.2
 169.254.1.2 dev veth1 src 169.254.1.1 uid 0
 # ip ro add table 254 169.254.101.102/32 via 169.254.1.2 dev veth3 onlink
 # echo $?
 0

Remove these tests given that their output is confusing and that the
scenario that they are testing is already covered by other tests.

A subsequent patch will add tests for the nexthop device mismatch
scenario.

75fe2b7adc Merge branch 'net-phy-introduce-phy-ports-representation'
Maxime Chevallier says:

====================
net: phy: Introduce PHY ports representation

A few important notes:

 - This is only a first phase. It instantiates the port, and leverage
   that to make the MAC <-> PHY <-> SFP usecase simpler.

 - Next phase will deal with controlling the port state, as well as the
   netlink uAPI for that.

 - The end-goal is to enable support for complex port MUX. This
   preliminary work focuses on PHY-driven ports, but this will be
   extended to support muxing at the MII level (Multi-phy, or compo PHY
   + SFP as found on Turris Omnia for example).

 - The naming is definitely not set in stone. I named that "phy_port",
   but this may convey the false sense that this is phylib-specific.
   Even the word "port" is not that great, as it already has several
   different meanings in the net world (switch port, devlink port,
   etc.). I used the term "connector" in the binding.

A bit of history on that work :

The end goal that I personnaly want to achieve is :

            + PHY - RJ45
            |
 MAC - MUX -+ PHY - RJ45

After many discussions here on netdev@, but also at netdevconf[1] and
LPC[2], there appears to be several analoguous designs that exist out
there.

[1] : https://netdevconf.info/0x17/sessions/talk/improving-multi-phy-and-multi-port-interfaces.html
[2] : https://lpc.events/event/18/contributions/1964/ (video isn't the
right one)

Take the MAchiatobin, it has 2 interfaces that looks like this :

 MAC - PHY -+ RJ45
            |
	    + SFP - Whatever the module does

Now, looking at the Turris Omnia, we have :

 MAC - MUX -+ PHY - RJ45
            |
	    + SFP - Whatever the module does

We can find more example of this kind of designs, the common part is
that we expose multiple front-facing media ports. This is what this
current work aims at supporting. As of right now, it does'nt add any
support for muxing, but this will come later on.

This first phase focuses on phy-driven ports only, but there are already
quite some challenges already. For one, we can't really autodetect how
many ports are sitting behind a PHY. That's why this series introduces a
new binding. Describing ports in DT should however be a last-resort
thing when we need to clear some ambiguity about the PHY media-side.

The only use-cases that we have today for multi-port PHYs are combo PHYs
that drive both a Copper port and an SFP (the Macchiatobin case). This
in itself is challenging and this series only addresses part of this
support, by registering a phy_port for the PHY <-> SFP connection. The
SFP module should in the end be considered as a port as well, but that's
not yet the case.

However, because now PHYs can register phy_ports for every media-side
interface they have, they can register the capabilities of their ports,
which allows making the PHY-driver SFP case much more generic.

As these devices are limited to 1000BaseX, a workaround is used to also

d7c6082f7e net: phy: Introduce generic SFP handling for PHY drivers
There are currently 4 PHY drivers that can drive downstream SFPs:
marvell.c, marvell10g.c, at803x.c and marvell-88x2222.c. Most of the
logic is boilerplate, either calling into generic phylib helpers (for
SFP PHY attach, bus attach, etc.) or performing the same tasks with a
bit of validation :
 - Getting the module's expected interface mode
 - Making sure the PHY supports it
 - Optionaly perform some configuration to make sure the PHY outputs
   the right mode

This can be made more generic by leveraging the phy_port, and its
configure_mii() callback which allows setting a port's interfaces when
the port is a serdes.

Introduce a generic PHY SFP support. If a driver doesn't probe the SFP
bus itself, but an SFP phandle is found in devicetree/firmware, then the
generic PHY SFP support will be used, relying on port ops.

PHY driver need to :
 - Register a .attach_port() callback
 - When a serdes port is registered to the PHY, drivers must set
   port->interfaces to the set of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE the port can output
 - If the port has limitations regarding speed, duplex and aneg, the
   port can also fine-tune the final linkmodes that can be supported
 - The port may register a set of ops, including .configure_mii(), that
   will be called at module_insert time to adjust the interface based on
   the module detected.

07f3ca9e09 net: phy: Create a phy_port for PHY-driven SFPs
Some PHY devices may be used as media-converters to drive SFP ports (for
example, to allow using SFP when the SoC can only output RGMII). This is
already supported to some extend by allowing PHY drivers to registers
themselves as being SFP upstream.

However, the logic to drive the SFP can actually be split to a per-port
control logic, allowing support for multi-port PHYs, or PHYs that can
either drive SFPs or Copper.

To that extent, create a phy_port when registering an SFP bus onto a
PHY. This port is considered a "serdes" port, in that it can feed data
to another entity on the link. The PHY driver needs to specify the
various PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_XXX that this port supports.

589e934d27 net: phy: Introduce PHY ports representation
Ethernet provides a wide variety of layer 1 protocols and standards for
data transmission. The front-facing ports of an interface have their own
complexity and configurability.

Introduce a representation of these front-facing ports. The current code
is minimalistic and only support ports controlled by PHY devices, but
the plan is to extend that to SFP as well as raw Ethernet MACs that
don't use PHY devices.

This minimal port representation allows describing the media and number
of pairs of a BaseT port. From that information, we can derive the
linkmodes usable on the port, which can be used to limit the
capabilities of an interface.

For now, the port pairs and medium is derived from devicetree, defined
by the PHY driver, or populated with default values (as we assume that
all PHYs expose at least one port).

The typical example is 100M ethernet. 100BaseTX works using only 2
pairs on a Cat 5 cables. However, in the situation where a 10/100/1000
capable PHY is wired to its RJ45 port through 2 pairs only, we have no
way of detecting that. The "max-speed" DT property can be used, but a
more accurate representation can be used :

mdi {
	connector-0 {
		media = "BaseT";
		pairs = <2>;
	};
};

From that information, we can derive the max speed reachable on the
port.

Another benefit of having that is to avoid vendor-specific DT properties
(micrel,fiber-mode or ti,fiber-mode).

This basic representation is meant to be expanded, by the introduction
of port ops, userspace listing of ports, and support for multi-port
devices.

3f25ff7409 net: ethtool: Introduce ETHTOOL_LINK_MEDIUM_* values
In an effort to have a better representation of Ethernet ports,
introduce enumeration values representing the various ethernet Mediums.

This is part of the 802.3 naming convention, for example :

1000 Base T 4
 |    |   | |
 |    |   | \_ pairs (4)
 |    |   \___ Medium (T == Twisted Copper Pairs)
 |    \_______ Baseband transmission
 \____________ Speed

 Other example :

10000 Base K X 4
           | | \_ lanes (4)
           | \___ encoding (BaseX is 8b/10b while BaseR is 66b/64b)
           \_____ Medium (K is backplane ethernet)

In the case of representing a physical port, only the medium and number
of pairs should be relevant. One exception would be 1000BaseX, which is
currently also used as a medium in what appears to be any of 1000BaseSX,
1000BaseCX, 1000BaseLX, 1000BaseEX, 1000BaseBX10 and some other.

This was reflected in the mediums associated with the 1000BaseX linkmode.

These mediums are set in the net/ethtool/common.c lookup table that
maintains a list of all linkmodes with their number of pairs, medium,
encoding, speed and duplex.

One notable exception to this is 100BaseT Ethernet. It emcompasses 100BaseTX,
which is a 2-pairs protocol but also 100BaseT4, that will also work on 4-pairs
cables. As we don't make a disctinction between these,  the lookup table
contains 2 sets of pair numbers, indicating the min number of pairs for a
protocol to work and the "nominal" number of pairs as well.

Another set of exceptions are linkmodes such 100000baseLR4_ER4, where
the same link mode seems to represent 100GBaseLR4 and 100GBaseER4. The
macro __DEFINE_LINK_MODE_PARAMS_MEDIUMS is here used to populate the
.mediums bitfield with all appropriate mediums.

fb7a8d0786 dt-bindings: net: Introduce the ethernet-connector description
The ability to describe the physical ports of Ethernet devices is useful
to describe multi-port devices, as well as to remove any ambiguity with
regard to the nature of the port.

Moreover, describing ports allows for a better description of features
that are tied to connectors, such as PoE through the PSE-PD devices.

Introduce a binding to allow describing the ports, for now with 2
attributes :

 - The number of pairs, which is a quite generic property that allows
   differentating between multiple similar technologies such as BaseT1
   and "regular" BaseT (which usually means BaseT4).

 - The media that can be used on that port, such as BaseT for Twisted
   Copper, BaseC for coax copper, BaseS/L for Fiber, BaseK for backplane
   ethernet, etc. This allows defining the nature of the port, and
   therefore avoids the need for vendor-specific properties such as
   "micrel,fiber-mode" or "ti,fiber-mode".

The port description lives in its own file, as it is intended in the
future to allow describing the ports for phy-less devices.

checks coalescing in presence of:
 - packets with bad csum,
 - sequence number mismatch,
 - timestamp option value mismatch,
 - different TCP options.

Since we now have TAP support grouping the cases like that
lowers our reporting granularity. This matters even more for
NICs performing HW GRO and LRO since it appears that most
implementation have _some_ bugs. Flagging the whole group
of tests as failed prevents us from catching regressions
in the things that work today.

69cb6ca52d tools/net/ynl: suppress jobserver warning in ynltool version detection
When building ynltool with parallel make (-jN), a warning is emitted:

  make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.
  Add '+' to parent make rule.

The warning trips up local runs of NIPA's ingest_mdir.py, which
correctly fails on make warnings.

This occurs because SRC_VERSION uses $(shell make ...) to make
kernelversion. The $(shell) function inherits make's MAKEFLAGS env var
which specifies "--jobserver-auth=R,W" pointing to file descriptors that
the invoked make sub-shell does not have access to.

Observed with:

$ make --version | head -1
GNU Make 4.3

Instead of suppressing MAKEFLAGS and foregoing all future MAKEFLAGS
(some of which may be desirable, such as variable overrides) or
introducing a new make target, we instead just ignore the warning by
piping stderr to /dev/null. If 'make kernelversion' fails, the ' || echo
"unknown"' phrase will catch the failure.

Before:
	NIPA ingest_mdir.py:

	ynl
	 Full series FAIL   (1)
	   Generated files up to date; build has 1 warnings/errors; no diff in
	   generated;

After:
	NIPA ingest_mdir.py:

	Series level tests:
	 ynl                             OKAY

c65182ef9d selftests: net: reduce txtimestamp deschedule flakes
This test occasionally fails due to exceeding timing bounds, as
run in continuous testing on netdev.bots:

  https://netdev.bots.linux.dev/contest.html?test=txtimestamp-sh

A common pattern is a single elevated delay between USR and SND.

    # 8.36 [+0.00] test SND
    # 8.36 [+0.00]     USR: 1767864384 s 240994 us (seq=0, len=0)
    # 8.44 [+0.08] ERROR: 18461 us expected between 10000 and 18000
    # 8.44 [+0.00]     SND: 1767864384 s 259455 us (seq=42, len=10)  (USR +18460 us)
    # 8.52 [+0.07]     SND: 1767864384 s 339523 us (seq=42, len=10)  (USR +10005 us)
    # 8.52 [+0.00]     USR: 1767864384 s 409580 us (seq=0, len=0)
    # 8.60 [+0.08]     SND: 1767864384 s 419586 us (seq=42, len=10)  (USR +10005 us)
    # 8.60 [+0.00]     USR: 1767864384 s 489645 us (seq=0, len=0)
    # 8.68 [+0.08]     SND: 1767864384 s 499651 us (seq=42, len=10)  (USR +10005 us)
    # 8.68 [+0.00]     USR-SND: count=4, avg=12119 us, min=10005 us, max=18460 us

(Note that other delays are nowhere near the large 8ms tolerance.)

One hypothesis is that the task is descheduled between taking the USR
timestamp and sending the packet. Possibly in printing.

Delay taking the timestamp closer to sendmsg, and delay printing until
after sendmsg.

With this change, failure rate is significantly lower in current runs.

4716af3897 net/rds: Give each connection path its own workqueue
RDS was written to require ordered workqueues for "cp->cp_wq":
Work is executed in the order scheduled, one item at a time.

If these workqueues are shared across connections,
then work executed on behalf of one connection blocks work
scheduled for a different and unrelated connection.

Luckily we don't need to share these workqueues.
While it obviously makes sense to limit the number of
workers (processes) that ought to be allocated on a system,
a workqueue that doesn't have a rescue worker attached,
has a tiny footprint compared to the connection as a whole:
A workqueue costs ~900 bytes, including the workqueue_struct,
pool_workqueue, workqueue_attrs, wq_node_nr_active and the
node_nr_active flex array.  Each connection can have up to 8
(RDS_MPATH_WORKERS) paths for a worst case of ~7 KBytes per
connection.  While an RDS/IB connection totals only ~5 MBytes.

So we're getting a signficant performance gain
(90% of connections fail over under 3 seconds vs. 40%)
for a less than 0.02% overhead.

RDS doesn't even benefit from the additional rescue workers:
of all the reasons that RDS blocks workers, allocation under
memory pressue is the least of our concerns. And even if RDS
was stalling due to the memory-reclaim process, the work
executed by the rescue workers are highly unlikely to free up
any memory. If anything, they might try to allocate even more.

By giving each connection path its own workqueues, we allow
RDS to better utilize the unbound workers that the system
has available.

ff420c568b Merge branch 'multi-queue-aware-sch_cake'
says:

====================
Multi-queue aware sch_cake

This series adds a multi-queue aware variant of the sch_cake scheduler,
called 'cake_mq'. Using this makes it possible to scale the rate shaper
of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing a single global
rate on the interface.

The approach taken in this patch series is to implement a separate qdisc
called 'cake_mq', which is based on the existing 'mq' qdisc, but differs
in a couple of aspects:

- It will always install a cake instance on each hardware queue (instead
  of using the default qdisc for each queue like 'mq' does).

- The cake instances on the queues will share their configuration, which
  can only be modified through the parent cake_mq instance.

Doing things this way simplifies user configuration by centralising
all configuration through the cake_mq qdisc (which also serves as an
obvious way of opting into the multi-queue aware behaviour). The cake_mq
qdisc takes all the same configuration parameters as the cake qdisc.

An earlier version of this work was presented at this year's Netdevconf:
https://netdevconf.info/0x19/sessions/talk/mq-cake-scaling-software-rate-limiting-across-cpu-cores.html

The patch series is structured as follows:

- Patch 1 exports the mq qdisc functions for reuse.

- Patch 2 factors out the sch_cake configuration variables into a
  separate struct that can be shared between instances.

- Patch 3 adds the basic cake_mq qdisc, reusing the exported mq code

- Patch 4 adds configuration sharing across the cake instances installed
  under cake_mq

- Patch 5 adds the shared shaper state that enables the multi-core rate
  shaping

- Patch 6 adds selftests for cake_mq

A patch to iproute2 to make it aware of the cake_mq qdisc were submitted
separately with a previous patch version:

1bddd758ba net/sched: sch_cake: share shaper state across sub-instances of cake_mq
This commit adds shared shaper state across the cake instances beneath a
cake_mq qdisc. It works by periodically tracking the number of active
instances, and scaling the configured rate by the number of active
queues.

The scan is lockless and simply reads the qlen and the last_active state
variable of each of the instances configured beneath the parent cake_mq
instance. Locking is not required since the values are only updated by
the owning instance, and eventual consistency is sufficient for the
purpose of estimating the number of active queues.

The interval for scanning the number of active queues is set to 200 us.
We found this to be a good tradeoff between overhead and response time.
For a detailed analysis of this aspect see the Netdevconf talk:

ebc65a873e net/sched: sch_cake: Add cake_mq qdisc for using cake on mq devices
Add a cake_mq qdisc which installs cake instances on each hardware
queue on a multi-queue device.

This is just a copy of sch_mq that installs cake instead of the default
qdisc on each queue. Subsequent commits will add sharing of the config
between cake instances, as well as a multi-queue aware shaper algorithm.

8b27fd66f5 net/sched: Export mq functions for reuse
To enable the cake_mq qdisc to reuse code from the mq qdisc, export a
bunch of functions from sch_mq. Split common functionality out from some
functions so it can be composed with other code, and export other
functions wholesale. To discourage wanton reuse, put the symbols into a
new NET_SCHED_INTERNAL namespace, and a sch_priv.h header file.

No functional change intended.

49e41f3ea3 net/mlx5: Add IFC bits for extended ETS rate limit bandwidth value
Add hardware interface definitions to support extended bandwidth rate
limiting in the QoS Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) configuration.

The new fields include:
- max_bw_value: extended from 8-bit to 16-bit in ets_tcn_config_reg,
  simplifying the implementation by using a single field instead of
  separate MSB/LSB fields.
- qetcr_qshr_max_bw_val_msb: capability bit in qcam_qos_feature_cap_mask
  indicating device support for the extended 16-bit max_bw_value field.

These interface additions are prerequisites for increasing the per-TC
rate limit beyond 255 Gbps to support higher-bandwidth NICs.

net: stmmac: pcs: clean up pcs interrupt handling

Clean up the stmmac PCS interrupt handling:

- Avoid promotion to unsigned long from unsigned int by defining PCS
  register bits/fields using u32 macros.
- Pass struct stmmac_priv into the host_irq_status MAC core method.
- Move the existing PCS interrupt handler (dwmac_pcs_isr) into
  stmmac_pcs.c, change it's arguments, use dev_info() rather than
  pr_info()
- arrange to call phylink_pcs_change() on link state changes.

ce24299b5b net: stmmac: report PCS link changes to phylink
Report PCS link changes to phylink, which will allow phylink's inband
support to respoind to link events once the PCS is appropriately
configured.

An expected behavioural change is that should the PCS report that its
link has failed, but phylink is operating in outband mode and the PHY
reports that link is up, this event will cause the netdev's link to
momentarily drop, making the event more noticable, rather than just
producing a "stmmac_pcs: Link Down" message.

52f37fd9f4 net: stmmac: change arguments to PCS handler and use dev_info()
Change the arguments to the PCS handler so that it can access the
struct device pointer and integrated PCS pointers.

This allows us to use the PCS register offset stored in struct
stmmac_pcs rather than passing it into the function, and also allows
the messages to be printed using dev_info() rather than pr_info(),
thereby allowing the stmmac instance to be identified.

Finally, as dev_info() identifies the driver/device, prefixing with
"stmmac_pcs: " is now redundant, so replace this with just "PCS ".
