Hi, This is a series of updates to phylink and sfp:
- Remove an unused net device argument from the phylink MII ioctl emulation code. - add support for using interrupts when using a GPIO for link status tracking, rather than polling it at one second intervals. This reduces the need to wakeup the CPU every second. - add support to the MII ioctl API to read and write Clause 45 PHY registers. I don't know how desirable this is for mainline, but I have used this facility extensively to investigate the Marvell 88x3310 PHY. A recent illustration of use for this was debugging the PHY-without-firmware problem recently reported. - add mandatory attach/detach methods for the upstream side of sfp bus code, which will allow us to remove the "netdev" structure from the SFP layers. - remove the "netdev" structure from the SFP upstream registration calls, which simplifies PHY to SFP links. drivers/net/phy/marvell10g.c | 101 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/net/phy/phy.c | 33 ++++++++++---- drivers/net/phy/phylink.c | 75 ++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- drivers/net/phy/sfp-bus.c | 14 +++--- include/linux/sfp.h | 12 +++-- 5 files changed, 195 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 12.1Mbps down 622kbps up According to speedtest.net: 11.9Mbps down 500kbps up
