mac_select_pcs() allows us to have an explicit point to query which PCS the MAC wishes to use for a particular PHY interface mode, thereby allowing us to add support to validate the link settings with the PCS. Phylink will also use this to select the PCS to be used during a major configuration event without the MAC driver needing to call phylink_set_pcs(). Note that if mac_select_pcs() is present, the supported_interfaces bitmap must be filled in; this avoids mac_select_pcs() being called with PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA when we want to get support for all interface types. Phylink will return an error in phylink_create() unless this condition is satisfied. Signed-off-by: Russell King (Oracle) <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk> 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.
