Oleksij Rempel says: ==================== lan78xx: Preparations for PHYlink This patch set is part of the preparatory work for migrating the lan78xx USB Ethernet driver to the PHYlink framework. During extensive testing, I observed that resetting the USB adapter can lead to various read/write errors. While the errors themselves are acceptable, they generate excessive log messages, resulting in significant log spam. This set improves error handling to reduce logging noise by addressing errors directly and returning early when necessary. Key highlights of this series include: - Enhanced error handling to reduce log spam while preserving the original error values, avoiding unnecessary overwrites. - Improved error reporting using the `%pe` specifier for better clarity in log messages. - Removal of redundant and problematic PHY fixups for LAN8835 and KSZ9031, with detailed explanations in the respective patches. - Cleanup of code structure, including unified `goto` labels for better readability and maintainability, even in simple editors. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241204084142.1152696-1-o.rempel@pengutronix.de 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 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.
