Russell King says: ==================== SFP/phylink updates This series, which follows on from the fixes posted earlier, improves the phylink/sfp support. Changes included here are: - Merge 802.3z and SGMII modes into one "in-band" mode, using the PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_xxx definition to determine which should be used. This allows more flexibility as more interface modes become available. - Allow 2500base-X and 10GBASE-KR to be requested from SFP. - Remove unused and unnecessary phylink_init_eee() - Restart 802.3z autonegotiation when starting the network device to ensure that the negotiated parameters are always correct. It has been observed on mvneta that this is not always the case without this change. - Add kerneldoc documentation for phylink and sfp upstream facing APIs and link it in to the networking documentation. - Resolve a sparse warning in sfp-bus.c - Convert phylink/sfp to use fwnode rather than DT so that other firmware systems can take advantage of this - I have received a request for it to be usable with ACPI. The exception to this is our interactions with phylib, as phylib itself does not yet support fwnode. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
