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.

Fix 10G PHY interface types
Recent discussion has revealed that our current usage of the 10GKR
phy_interface_t is not correct. This is based on a misunderstanding
caused in part by the various specifications being difficult to
obtain. Now that a better understanding has been reached, we ought
to correct this.
This series introduce PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GBASER to replace the
existing usage of 10GKR mode, and document their differences in the
phylib documentation. Then switch PHY, SFP/phylink, the Marvell
PP2 network driver, and its associated comphy driver over to use
the correct interface mode. None of the existing platform usage
was actually using 10GBASE-KR.
In order to maintain compatibility with existing DT files, arrange
for the Marvell PP2 driver to rewrite the phy interface mode; this
allows other drivers to adopt correct behaviour w.r.t whether the
10G connection conforms to the backplane 10GBASE-KR protocol vs
normal 10GBASE-R protocol.
After applying these locally to net-next I've validated that the
only places which mention the old PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR
definition are:
Documentation/networking/phy.rst:``PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR``
drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvpp2/mvpp2_main.c: if (phy_mode == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR)
drivers/net/phy/aquantia_main.c: phydev->interface = PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR;
drivers/net/phy/aquantia_main.c: phydev->interface != PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR &&
include/linux/phy.h: PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR,
include/linux/phy.h: case PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR:
which is as expected. The only users of "10gbase-kr" in DT are:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-7040-db.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-clearfog-gt-8k.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-db.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-db.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin-singleshot.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin-singleshot.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/cn9130-db.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/cn9131-db.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/cn9132-db.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
which all use the mvpp2 driver, and these will be updated in a
separate patch to be submitted in the following kernel cycle.
v2: add comment to mvpp2 driver.
