Add debugfs support to SFP so that the internal state of the SFP state machines and hardware signal state can be viewed from userspace, rather than having to compile a debug kernel to view state transitions in the kernel log. The 'state' output looks like: Module state: empty Module probe attempts: 0 0 Device state: up Main state: down Fault recovery remaining retries: 5 PHY probe remaining retries: 12 moddef0: 0 rx_los: 1 tx_fault: 1 tx_disable: 1 Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/E1kyYRe-0004kN-3F@rmk-PC.armlinux.org.uk 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.
