We are too close to branching off +to risk this, and it's also just too much work. +Instead just add helper functions used by modern PCS drivers while keeping +the original functions instact as well. While this may add a kilobyte or +two of extra kernel size, it has the advantage that we get the best of both +worlds: None of the existing codepaths are touched, but yet we have the +option to backport singular improvements to Ethernet drivers where needed. + +Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org> + --- a/include/linux/phylink.h +++ b/include/linux/phylink.h @@ -584,10 +584,37 @@ int phylink_speed_up(struct phylink *pl) |
