net: phy: remove flags argument from phy_{attach, connect, connect_direct}

2013-01-14T20:11:50Z

The flags argument of the phy_{attach,connect,connect_direct} functions is then used to assign a struct phy_device dev_flags with its value. All callers but the tg3 driver pass the flag 0, which results in the underlying PHY drivers in drivers/net/phy/ not being able to actually use any of the flags they would set in dev_flags. This patch gets rid of the flags argument, and passes phydev->dev_flags to the internal PHY library call phy_attach_direct() such that drivers which actually modify a phy device dev_flags get the value preserved for use by the underlying phy driver.

drivers/net: fix up stale paths from driver reorg

2012-01-30T17:54:40Z

The reorganization of the driver layout in drivers/net left behind some stale paths in comments and in Kconfig help text. Bring them up to date. No actual change to any code takes place here. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker CC: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

phylib: fix phy name example in documentation

2008-11-19T23:38:24Z

All MDIO bus drivers currently name bus with "%x" format. There is one exception where mv643xx_eth driver is using "%d". Phy address on the bus uses format "%02x". Fixing phy name example to match all real life MDIO drivers. Signed-off-by: Paulius Zaleckas Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

phylib: Add support for board-level PHY fixups

2008-04-25T06:08:52Z

Sometimes the specific interaction between the platform and the PHY requires special handling. For instance, to change where the PHY's clock input is, or to add a delay to account for latency issues in the data path. We add a mechanism for registering a callback with the PHY Lib to be called on matching PHYs when they are brought up, or reset. Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

[PATCH] PHY: Add support for configuring the PHY connection interface

2006-12-02T05:33:11Z

Most PHYs connect to an ethernet controller over a GMII or MII interface. However, a growing number are connected over different interfaces, such as RGMII or SGMII. The ethernet driver will tell the PHY what type of connection it is by setting it manually, or passing it in through phy_connect (or phy_attach). Changes include: * Updates to documentation * Updates to PHY Lib consumers * Changes to PHY Lib to add interface support * Some minor changes to whitespace in phy.h * gianfar driver now detects interface and passes appropriate value to PHY Lib Signed-off-by: Andrew Fleming Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik
