Subject: question about samsung/sxgbe/sxgbe_xpcs.c

Hello,

I was windering what is the purpose of the file
drivers/net/ethernet/samsung/sxgbe/sxgbe_xpcs.c

I can't find anything that refers to it, and if I remove it from the
makefile:

@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
 obj-$(CONFIG_SXGBE_ETH) += samsung-sxgbe.o
 samsung-sxgbe-objs:= sxgbe_platform.o sxgbe_main.o sxgbe_desc.o \
                sxgbe_dma.o sxgbe_core.o sxgbe_mtl.o  sxgbe_mdio.o \
-               sxgbe_ethtool.o sxgbe_xpcs.o $(samsung-sxgbe-y)
+               sxgbe_ethtool.o $(samsung-sxgbe-y)

and then make clean and recompile, I see no bad effect.

thanks,
julia
