Russell King says: ==================== net: phylink: rearrange ovr_an_inband support This series addresses the use of the ovr_an_inband flag, which is used by two drivers to indicate to phylink that they wish to use inband mode without firmware specifying inband mode. The issue with ovr_an_inband is that it overrides not only PHY mode, but also fixed-link mode. Both of the drivers that set this flag contain code to detect when fixed-link mode will be used, and then either avoid setting it or explicitly clear the flag. This is wasteful when phylink already knows this. Therefore, the approach taken in this patch set is to replace the ovr_an_inband flag with a default_an_inband flag which means that phylink defaults to MLO_AN_INBAND instead of MLO_AN_PHY, and will allow that default to be overriden if firmware specifies a fixed-link. This allows users of ovr_an_inband to be simplified. What's more is this requires minimal changes in phylink to allow this new mode of operation. This series changes phylink, and also updates the two drivers (fman_memac and stmmac), and then removes the unnecessary complexity from the drivers. This series may depend on the stmmac cleanup series I've posted earlier - this is something I have not checked, but I currently have these patches on top of that series. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZlctinnTT8Xhemsm@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.
