Subject: [RFC] obsolete references to
 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt

Hi,

this patch removed the ethernet.txt content and added the information found in
it in the ethernet-controller.yaml (Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net):

  commit 9d3de3c58347623b5e71d554628a1571cd3142ad
  Author: Maxime Ripard <maxime.ripard@...tlin.com>
  Date:   Thu Jun 27 17:31:43 2019 +0200

      dt-bindings: net: Add YAML schemas for the generic Ethernet options

      The Ethernet controllers have a good number of generic options that can be
      needed in a device tree. Add a YAML schemas for those.

There are still many references to the previous ethernet.txt document:

  $ grep ethernet.txt Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ -r | wc -l
  96

Should those be updated too or it's enough to rely on the current content
of the previous ethernet.txt file:

  $ cat Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt
  This file has moved to ethernet-controller.yaml.

Thanks,
Madalin
