Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/15] Add and use helper for PCS negotiation modes

Hi,

Earlier this month, I proposed a helper for deciding whether a PCS
should use inband negotiation modes or not. There was some discussion
around this topic, and I believe there was no disagreement about
providing the helper.

The initial discussion can be found at:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZGIkGmyL8yL1q1zp@shell.armlinux.org.uk

Subsequently, I posted a RFC series back in May:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZGzhvePzPjJ0v2En@shell.armlinux.org.uk

that added a helper, phylink_pcs_neg_mode() which PCS drivers could use
to parse the state, and updated a bunch of drivers to use it. I got
a couple of bits of feedback to it, including some ACKs.

However, I've decided to take this slightly further and change the
"mode" parameter to both the pcs_config() and pcs_link_up() methods
when a PCS driver opts in to this (by setting "neg_mode" in the
phylink_pcs structure.) If this is not set, we default to the old
behaviour. That said, this series converts all the PCS implementations
I can find currently in net-next.

Doing this has the added benefit that the negotiation mode parameter
is also available to the pcs_link_up() function, which can now know
whether inband negotiation was in fact enabled or not at pcs_config()
time.

It has been posted as RFC at:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZIh/CLQ3z89g0Ua0@shell.armlinux.org.uk

and received one reply, thanks Elad, which is a similar amount of
interest to previous postings. Let's post it as non-RFC and see
whether we get more reaction.
