Some of Broadcom's PHYs run by default in slave mode with Automatic Slave/Master configuration disabled. It stops them from working properly with some devices. So far it has been verified for BCM54210E and BCM50212E which don't work well with Intel's I217-LM and I218-LM: http://ark.intel.com/products/60019/Intel-Ethernet-Connection-I217-LM http://ark.intel.com/products/71307/Intel-Ethernet-Connection-I218-LM I was told there is massive ping loss. This commit adds support for a new flag which can be set by an ethernet driver to fixup PHY setup. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl> 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.
