Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/2] net: phy: add functionality to speed down PHY
 when waiting for WoL packet

Some network drivers include functionality to speed down the PHY when
suspending and just waiting for a WoL packet because this saves energy.

This patch is based on our recent discussion about factoring out this
functionality to phylib. First user will be the r8169 driver.

v2:
- add warning comment to phy_speed_down regarding usage of sync = false
- remove sync parameter from phy_speed_up

Heiner Kallweit (2):
  net: phy: add helper phy_config_aneg
  net: phy: add phy_speed_down and phy_speed_up
