Jakub Kicinski 3c78f91e82 Merge branch 'net-phy-smsc-robustness-fixes-for-lan87xx-lan9500'
Oleksij Rempel says:

====================
net: phy: smsc: robustness fixes for LAN87xx/LAN9500

The SMSC 10/100 PHYs (LAN87xx family) found in smsc95xx (lan95xx)
USB-Ethernet adapters show several quirks around the Auto-MDIX feature:

- A hardware strap (AUTOMDIX_EN) may boot the PHY in fixed-MDI mode, and
  the current driver cannot always override it.

- When Auto-MDIX is left enabled while autonegotiation is forced off,
  the PHY endlessly swaps the TX/RX pairs and never links up.

- The driver sets the enable bit for Auto-MDIX but forgets the override
  bit, so userspace requests are silently ignored.

- Rapid configuration changes can wedge the link if PHY IRQs are
  enabled.

The four patches below make the MDIX state fully predictable and prevent
link failures in every tested strap / autoneg / MDI-X permutation.

Tested on LAN9512 Eval board.

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 reStructuredText 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.
