Heiner Kallweit says: ==================== r8169: add EEE support for RTL8168g+ This series adds general EEE support to be used with ethtool. In addition it implements EEE for chip versions from RTL8168g. The first patch leaves the default chip settings and the second enables EEE per default. This allows us to revert patch 2 w/o removing EEE support completely if we should face issues with EEE on particular chip versions. Unfortunately Realtek decided not to use the standard EEE MMD registers but to use proprietary registers. Therefore we can't use phylib functions like phy_ethtool_set_eee and have to reimplement the functionality. Tested on a system with RTL8168g (chip version 40). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
