Russell King says: ==================== net: sfp: add support for control of rate selection This series introduces control of the rate selection SFP pins (or their soft state in the I2C diagnostics EEPROM). Several SNIA documents (referenced in the commits) describe the various different modes for these, and we implement them all for maximum compatibility, but as we know, SFP modules tend to do their own thing, so that may not be sufficient. In order to implement this, we need to change the locking arrangement in the SFP layer - we need to make st_mutex (state mutex) able to be taken from within the rtnl lock and sm_mutex (state machine mutex). Essentially, st_mutex protects the hard (gpio) and soft state signals. So, patches 2 through 5 rejig the locking so that st_mutex is only ever taken when we want to fiddle with the signal state variables, read or write the GPIOs, or read or write the soft state. Patch 1 adds a helper that makes the locking rejig a little easier as it combines the update of sfp->state with setting the updated control state to the module. Patch 6 adds code to phylink to give the signalling rate for various PHY interface modes that are relevant to SFPs - this is the baud rate of the encoded signal, not the data rate, which is what matters for SFPs. This rate is passed through the SFP bus layer into the SFP socket driver, which initially has a stub sfp_set_signal_rate(). Patch 7 adds the code to the SFP socket driver to parse the rate selection data in the EEPROM, configure which RS signals need to be driven, and the signalling rate threshold. We fill in sfp_set_signal_rate() to set the rate select pins as appropriate. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZGSuTY8GqjM+sqta@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 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.
