Alexandru Ardelean says: ==================== ethtool: implement Energy Detect Powerdown support via phy-tunable This changeset proposes a new control for PHY tunable to control Energy Detect Power Down. The `phy_tunable_id` has been named `ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD` since it looks like this feature is common across other PHYs (like EEE), and defining `ETHTOOL_PHY_ENERGY_DETECT_POWER_DOWN` seems too long. The way EDPD works, is that the RX block is put to a lower power mode, except for link-pulse detection circuits. The TX block is also put to low power mode, but the PHY wakes-up periodically to send link pulses, to avoid lock-ups in case the other side is also in EDPD mode. Currently, there are 2 PHY drivers that look like they could use this new PHY tunable feature: the `adin` && `micrel` PHYs. This series updates only the `adin` PHY driver to support this new feature, as this chip has been tested. A change for `micrel` can be proposed after a discussion of the PHY-tunable API is resolved. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
