Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== Validate OF nodes for DSA shared ports This is the first set of measures taken so that more drivers can be transitioned towards phylink on shared (CPU and DSA) ports some time in the future. It consists of: - expanding the DT schema for DSA and related drivers to clarify the new requirements. - introducing warnings for drivers that currently skip phylink due to incomplete DT descriptions. - introducing warning for drivers that currently skip phylink due to using platform data (search for struct dsa_chip_data). - closing the possibility for new(ish) drivers to skip phylink, by validating their DT descriptions. - making the code paths used by shared ports more evident. - preparing the code paths used by shared ports for further work to fake a link description where that is possible. More details in patch 10/10. DT binding (patches 1-6) and kernel (7-10) are in principle separable, but are submitted together since they're part of the same story. Patches 8 and 9 are DSA cleanups, and patch 7 is a dependency for patch 10. v1 at https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220723164635.1621911-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/ v2 at https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220729132119.1191227-5-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/ v3 at https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20220806141059.2498226-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/ ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220818115500.2592578-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
