2020-01-05net: phy: add PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GBASERRussell King
Recent discussion has revealed that the use of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR is incorrect. Add a 10GBASE-R definition, document both the -R and -KR versions, and the fact that 10GKR was used incorrectly.

2019-12-02Merge tag 'docs-5.5a' of git://git.lwn.net/linuxLinus Torvalds
Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "Here are the main documentation changes for 5.5: - Various kerneldoc script enhancements. - More RST conversions; those are slowing down as we run out of things to convert, but we're a ways from done still. - Dan's "maintainer profile entry" work landed at last. Now we just need to get maintainers to fill in the profiles... - A reworking of the parallel build setup to work better with a variety of systems (and to not take over huge systems entirely in particular). - The MAINTAINERS file is now converted to RST during the build. Hopefully nobody ever tries to print this thing, or they will need to load a lot of paper. - A script and documentation making it easy for maintainers to add Link: tags at commit time. Also included is the removal of a bunch of spurious CR characters" * tag 'docs-5.5a' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (91 commits) docs: remove a bunch of stray CRs docs: fix up the maintainer profile document libnvdimm, MAINTAINERS: Maintainer Entry Profile Maintainer Handbook: Maintainer Entry Profile MAINTAINERS: Reclaim the P: tag for Maintainer Entry Profile docs, parallelism: Rearrange how jobserver reservations are made docs, parallelism: Do not leak blocking mode to other readers docs, parallelism: Fix failure path and add comment Documentation: Remove bootmem_debug from kernel-parameters.txt Documentation: security: core.rst: fix warnings Documentation/process/howto/kokr: Update for 4.x -> 5.x versioning Documentation/translation: Use Korean for Korean translation title docs/memory-barriers.txt: Remove remaining references to mmiowb() docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Update I/O section to be clearer about CPU vs thread docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Fix style, spacing and grammar in I/O section Documentation/kokr: Kill all references to mmiowb() docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Rewrite "KERNEL I/O BARRIER EFFECTS" section docs: Add initial documentation for devfreq Documentation: Document how to get links with git am docs: Add request_irq() documentation ...
2019-11-23net: phy: remove phy_ethtool_sset()Russell King
There are no users of phy_ethtool_sset() in the kernel anymore, and as of commit 3c1bcc8614db ("net: ethernet: Convert phydev advertize and supported from u32 to link mode"), the implementation is slightly buggy - it doesn't correctly check the masked advertising mask as it used to. Remove it, and update the phy documentation to refer to its replacement function.

2019-06-23doc: phy: document some PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_xxx settingsRussell King
There seems to be some confusion surrounding three PHY interface modes, specifically 1000BASE-X, 2500BASE-X and SGMII. Add some documentation to phylib detailing precisely what these interface modes refer to.
