Presently, at boot time, the comphys are enabled. For firmware compatibility reasons, the comphy driver does not power down the comphys at boot. Consequently, the ethernet comphys are left active until the network interfaces are brought through an up/down cycle. If the port is never used, the port wastes power needlessly. Arrange for the ethernet comphys to be cycled by the mvpp2 driver as if the interface went through an up/down cycle during driver probe, thereby powering them down. This saves: 270mW per 10G SFP+ port on the Macchiatobin Single Shot (eth0/eth1) 370mW per 10G PHY port on the Macchiatobin Double Shot (eth0/eth1) 160mW on the SFP port on either Macchiatobin flavour (eth3) Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk> Acked-by: Antoine Tenart <antoine.tenart@bootlin.com> 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.
