====================
Support loopback mode speed selection
Previously to commit 6ff3cddc36 ("net: phylib: do not disable autoneg
for fixed speeds >= 1G") it was possible to select the speed of the
loopback mode by configuring a fixed speed before enabling the loopback
mode. Now autoneg is always enabled for >= 1G and a fixed speed of >= 1G
requires successful autoneg. Thus, the speed of the loopback mode depends
on the link partner for >= 1G. There is no technical reason to depend on
the link partner for loopback mode. With this behavior the loopback mode
is less useful for testing.
Allow PHYs to support optional speed selection for the loopback mode.
This support is implemented for the generic loopback support and for PHY
drivers, which obviously support speed selection for loopback mode.
Additionally, loopback support according to the data sheet is added to
the KSZ9031 PHY.
Extend phy_loopback() to signal link up and down if speed changes,
because a new link speed requires link up signalling.
Use this loopback speed selection in the tsnep driver to select the
loopback mode speed depending the previously active speed. User space
tests with 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps loopback are possible again.

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.
