PMMP (Port Module Memory Map Properties) and MCION (Management Cable IO and Notifications) registers are not supported on RJ45 ports, so setting and getting power mode should be rejected. Therefore, before trying to access those registers, validate the port module type that was queried during initialization and return an error to user space in case the port module type is RJ45 (twisted pair). Set output example: # ethtool --set-module swp1 power-mode-policy auto netlink error: mlxsw_core: Power mode is not supported on port module type netlink error: Invalid argument Get output example: $ ethtool --show-module swp11 netlink error: mlxsw_core: Power mode is not supported on port module type netlink error: Invalid argument Signed-off-by: Danielle Ratson <danieller@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> 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.
