Three conflicts, one of which, for marvell10g.c is non-trivial and requires some follow-up from Heiner or someone else. The issue is that Heiner converted the marvell10g driver over to use the generic c45 code as much as possible. However, in 'net' a bug fix appeared which makes sure that a new local mask (MDIO_AN_10GBT_CTRL_ADV_NBT_MASK) with value 0x01e0 is cleared. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Switch ID
^^^^^^^^^
-The switchdev driver must implement the switchdev op switchdev_port_attr_get
-for SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID for each port netdev, returning the same
-physical ID for each port of a switch. The ID must be unique between switches
-on the same system. The ID does not need to be unique between switches on
-different systems.
+The switchdev driver must implement the net_device operation
+ndo_get_port_parent_id for each port netdev, returning the same physical ID for
+each port of a switch. The ID must be unique between switches on the same
+system. The ID does not need to be unique between switches on different

The switch ID is used to locate ports on a switch and to know if aggregated
ports belong to the same switch.
