net: mvpp2: phylink conversion
This series convert the Marvell PPv2 driver to phylink (models the MAC
to PHY link).
One important point is the PPv2 driver supports two probe modes: device
tree and ACPI. This series only brings phylink support for the device
tree mode, as the ACPI one will need further work. Still, the driver
should be working as before when using ACPI. This split should be
temporary, and was discussed with Marcin (in Cc.) who added ACPI support
to the driver.
Also as the SFP cages on both DB boards can be considered as non-wired.
We thus chose not to describe those SFP cages and we use fixed-link.
The rest of the series uses phylink to add support for 1000BaseX and
2500BaseX modes in the PPv2 driver. To do this, two patches are needed
in the common PHY framework (patches 3 and 4). The last 4 patches modify
the device tree to use the new PPv2 functionalities.
The series has been tested for the device tree mode on the 7040-db,
8040-db and 8040-mcbin boards, to ensure all the interface where working
as expected.
@Dave: patches 7 to 10 should go through the mvebu tree (Gregory in
Cc.) to avoid any conflict with the other mvebu dt patches taken during
this cycle.
The series is based on today's net-next.
Since v2:
- Removed the SFP description from the DB boards, as their SFP cages
are wired properly. We now use fixed-link.
- Because of this rework, split the series in two, so that the SFP
part is reviewed separately.
- Small fixes in the phylink patch.
- Rebased on the latest net-next branch.
Since v1:
- Chose a different approach to the SFP changes, as the previous ones
weren't valid and reworked both BD boards device trees.
- Misc fixes.
- Added Kishon's acked-by on one patch.
- Rebaed on latest net-next branch.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
