Russell King says: ==================== Add rudimentary SFP module quirk support The SFP module EEPROM describes the capabilities of the module, but doesn't describe the host interface. We have a certain amount of guess-work to work out how to configure the host - which works most of the time. However, there are some (such as GPON) modules which are able to support different host interfaces, such as 1000BASE-X and 2500BASE-X. The module will switch between each mode until it achieves link with the host. There is no defined way to describe this in the SFP EEPROM, so we can only recognise the module and handle it appropriately. This series adds the necessary recognition of the modules using a quirk system, and tweaks the support mask to allow them to link with the host at 2500BASE-X, thereby allowing the user to achieve full line rate. ==================== 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.
