Linux kernel source tree
642af0f92c
There exists several examples today of devices that embed an ethernet PHY or PCS directly inside an SoC. In this situation, either the device is controlled through a vendor-specific register set, or sometimes exposes the standard 802.3 registers that are typically accessed over MDIO. As phylib and phylink are designed to use mdiodevices, this driver allows creating a virtual MDIO bus, that translates mdiodev register accesses to regmap accesses. The reason we use regmap is because there are at least 3 such devices known today, 2 of them are Altera TSE PCS's, memory-mapped, exposed with a 4-byte stride in stmmac's dwmac-socfpga variant, and a 2-byte stride in altera-tse. The other one (nxp,sja1110-base-tx-mdio) is exposed over SPI.

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.
