Russell King says: ==================== net: stmmac: deprecate "snps,en-tx-lpi-clockgating" property This series deprecates the "snps,en-tx-lpi-clockgating" property for stmmac. MII Transmit clock gating, where the MAC hardware supports gating this clock, is a function of the connected PHY capabilities, which it reports through its status register. GMAC versions that support transmit clock gating twiddle the LPITCSE bit accordingly in the LPI control/status register, which is handled by the GMAC core specific code. So, "snps,en-tx-lpi-clockgating" not something that is a GMAC property, but is a work-around for phylib not providing an interface to determine whether the PHY allows the transmit clock to be disabled. This series converts the two SoCs that make use of this property (which, I hasten to add, is set in the SoC code) to use the PHY capability bit instead of a DT property, then removes the DT property from the .dtsi, deprecates it in the snps,dwmac binding, and finally in the stmmac code. I am expecting some discussion on how to merge this, as I think the order in which these changes is made is important - we don't want to deprecate the old way until the new code has landed. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/Z9FVHEf3uUqtKzyt@shell.armlinux.org.uk Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
