Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/2] net: phy: use generic PHY ability readers if
 callback get_features isn't set

Meanwhile we have generic functions for reading the abilities of
Clause 22 / 45 PHY's. This allows to use them as fallback in case
callback get_features isn't set. Benefit is the reduction of
boilerplate code in PHY drivers.

v2:
- adjust a comment in patch 1 to match the code

Heiner Kallweit (2):
  net: phy: allow a PHY driver to define neither features nor
    get_features
  net: phy: realtek: remove setting callback get_features and use phylib
    default
