[PATCH RFC 00/26] Phylink & SFP support

2015-12-07 Thread Russell King - ARM Linux
Hi, SFP modules are hot-pluggable ethernet transceivers; they can be detected at runtime and accordingly configured. There are a range of modules offering many different features. Some SFP modules have PHYs conventional integrated into them, others drive a laser diode from the Serdes bus. Some
