After52358dd63e("net: phy: remove function stubs") there's a problem if CONFIG_MDIO_BUS is set, but CONFIG_PHYLIB is not. mdiobus_scan() uses phylib functions like get_phy_device(). Bringing back the stub wouldn't make much sense, because it would allow to compile mdiobus_scan(), but the function would be unusable. The stub returned NULL, and we have the following in mdiobus_scan(): phydev = get_phy_device(bus, addr, c45); if (IS_ERR(phydev)) return phydev; So calling mdiobus_scan() w/o CONFIG_PHYLIB would cause a crash later in mdiobus_scan(). In general the PHYLIB functionality isn't optional here. Consequently, MDIO bus providers depend on PHYLIB. Therefore factor it out and build it together with the libphy core modules. In addition make all MDIO bus providers under /drivers/net/mdio depend on PHYLIB. Same applies to enetc MDIO bus provider. Note that PHYLIB selects MDIO_DEVRES, therefore we can omit this here.

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.
