Russell King says: ==================== net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: prepare for phylink_pcs conversion These two patches provide some preparation for converting the mv88e6xxx DSA driver to use phylink_pcs rather than bolting the serdes bits into the MAC calls. In order to correctly drive mv88e6xxx hardware when the PCS code is split, we need to force the link down while changing the configuration of a port. This is provided for via the mac_prepare() and mac_finish() methods, but DSA does not forward these on to DSA drivers. Patch 1 adds support to the DSA core to forward these two methods to DSA drivers, and patch 2 moves the code from mv88e6xxx_mac_config() into the respective methods. ==================== 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.
