Russell King says: ==================== Clause 45 PHY probing improvements Last time this series was posted back in May, Florian reviewed the patches, which was the only feedback I received. I'm now posting them without the RFC tag. This series aims to improve the probing for Clause 45 PHYs. The first four patches clean up get_phy_device() and called functions, updating the kernel doc, adding information about the various error return values. We then provide better kerneldoc for get_phy_device(), describing what is going on, and more importantly what the various return codes mean. Patch 6 adds support for probing MMDs >= 8 to check for their presence. Patch 7 changes get_phy_c45_ids() to only set the returned devices_in_package if we successfully find a PHY. Patch 8 splits the use of "devices in package" from the "mmds present". Patch 9 expands our ID reading to cover the other MMDs. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
