2019-01-22	net: phy: Convert some PHY and MDIO driver files to SPDX headers	Andrew Lunn	1	-5/+1
	Where the license text and the MODULE_LICENSE() value agree, convert to using an SPDX header, removing the license text. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2018-04-20	net: phy: mdio-boardinfo: Allow recursive mdiobus_register()	Andrew Lunn	1	-1/+4
	mdiobus_register will search for any mdiobus board info registered for the bus being registered. If found, it will probe devices on the bus. That device, if for example it is an ethernet switch, may then try to register an mdio bus. Thus we need to allow recursive calls to mdiobus_register. Holding the mdio_board_lock will cause a deadlock during this recursion. Release the lock and use list_for_each_entry_safe. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-03-29	net: phy: Allow building mdio-boardinfo into the kernel	Florian Fainelli	1	-14/+7
	mdio-boardinfo contains code that is helpful for platforms to register specific MDIO bus devices independent of how CONFIG_MDIO_DEVICE or CONFIG_PHYLIB will be selected (modular or built-in). In order to make that possible, let's do the following: - descend into drivers/net/phy/ unconditionally - make mdiobus_setup_mdiodev_from_board_info() take a callback argument which allows us not to expose the internal MDIO board info list and mutex, yet maintain the logic within the same file - relocate the code that creates a MDIO device into drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c - build mdio-boardinfo.o into the kernel as soon as MDIO_DEVICE is defined (y or m) Fixes: 90eff9096c01 ("net: phy: Allow splitting MDIO bus/device support from PHYs") Fixes: 648ea0134069 ("net: phy: Allow pre-declaration of MDIO devices") Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Tested-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-03-24	net: phy: Allow splitting MDIO bus/device support from PHYs	Florian Fainelli	1	-0/+1
	Introduce a new configuration symbol: MDIO_DEVICE which allows building the MDIO devices and bus code, without pulling in the entire Ethernet PHY library and devices code. PHYLIB nows select MDIO_DEVICE and the relevant Makefile files are updated to reflect that. When MDIO_DEVICE (MDIO bus/device only) is selected, but not PHYLIB, we have mdio-bus.ko as a loadable module, and it does not have a module_exit() function because the safety of removing a bus class is unclear. When both MDIO_DEVICE and PHYLIB are enabled, we need to assemble everything into a common loadable module: libphy.ko because of nasty circular dependencies between phy.c, phy_device.c and mdio_bus.c which are really tough to untangle.

2017-02-07	net: phy: Allow pre-declaration of MDIO devices	Florian Fainelli	1	-0/+86
	Allow board support code to collect pre-declarations for MDIO devices by registering them with mdiobus_register_board_info(). SPI and I2C buses have a similar feature, we were missing this for MDIO devices, but this is particularly useful for e.g: MDIO-connected switches which need to provide their port layout (often board-specific) to a MDIO Ethernet switch driver.
