====================
Convert ocelot to phylink
The ocelot switchdev and felix dsa drivers are interesting because they
target the same class of hardware switches but used in different modes.
Colin has an interesting use case where he wants to use a hardware
switch supported by the ocelot switchdev driver with the felix dsa
driver.
So far, the existing hardware revisions were similar between the ocelot
and felix drivers, but not completely identical. With identical hardware,
it is absurd that the felix driver uses phylink while the ocelot driver
uses phylib - this should not be one of the differences between the
switchdev and dsa driver, and we could eliminate it.
Colin will need the common phylink support in ocelot and felix when
adding a phylink_pcs driver for the PCS1G block inside VSC7514, which
will make the felix driver work with either the NXP or the Microchip PCS.
As usual, Alex, Horatiu, sorry for bugging you, but it would be
appreciated if you could give this a quick run on actual VSC7514
hardware (which I don't have) to make sure I'm not introducing any
breakage.

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.
