Only a handful of PHY drivers needs the PHY package functionality,
therefore build the module only if needed.

<content type='text'>
Add support for the MaxLinear MxL86110 Gigabit Ethernet PHY, a low-power,
cost-optimized transceiver supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps over twisted-pair
copper, compliant with IEEE 802.3.

The driver implements basic features such as:
- Device initialization
- RGMII interface timing configuration
- Wake-on-LAN support
- LED initialization and control via /sys/class/leds

This driver has been tested on multiple Variscite boards, including:
- VAR-SOM-MX93 (i.MX93)
- VAR-SOM-MX8M-PLUS (i.MX8MP)

Example boot log showing driver probe:
[    7.692101] imx-dwmac 428a0000.ethernet eth0:
	PHY [stmmac-0:00] driver [MXL86110 Gigabit Ethernet] (irq=POLL)

<id>830877d89edcd834e4b4d0fcc021ff619d89505e</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for Aeonsemi AS21xxx 10G C45 PHYs. These PHYs integrate
an IPC to setup some configuration and require special handling to
sync with the parity bit. The parity bit is a way the IPC use to
follow correct order of command sent.

Supported PHYs AS21011JB1, AS21011PB1, AS21010JB1, AS21010PB1,
AS21511JB1, AS21511PB1, AS21510JB1, AS21510PB1, AS21210JB1,
AS21210PB1 that all register with the PHY ID 0x7500 0x7510
before the firmware is loaded.

They all support up to 5 LEDs with various HW mode supported.

While implementing it was found some strange coincidence with using the
same logic for implementing C22 in MMD regs in Broadcom PHYs.

For reference here the AS21xxx PHY name logic:

AS21x1xxB1

After having factored out the provider part from mdio_bus.c, we can
make the mdio consumer / device layer a separate module. This also
allows to remove Kconfig symbol MDIO_DEVICE.
The module init / exit functions from mdio_bus.c no longer have to be
called from phy_device.c. The link order defined in
drivers/net/phy/Makefile ensures that init / exit functions are called
in the right order.

MDIO_DEVRES is only set where PHYLIB/PHYLINK are set which
select MDIO_DEVRES. So we can remove this symbol.

Note: Due to circular module dependencies we can't simply
      make mdio_devres.c part of phylib.

<content type='text'>
After 52358dd63e34 ("net: phy: remove function stubs") there's a
problem if CONFIG_MDIO_BUS is set, but CONFIG_PHYLIB is not.
mdiobus_scan() uses phylib functions like get_phy_device().
Bringing back the stub wouldn't make much sense, because it would
allow to compile mdiobus_scan(), but the function would be unusable.
The stub returned NULL, and we have the following in mdiobus_scan():

phydev = get_phy_device(bus, addr, c45);
        if (IS_ERR(phydev))
                return phydev;

So calling mdiobus_scan() w/o CONFIG_PHYLIB would cause a crash later in
mdiobus_scan(). In general the PHYLIB functionality isn't optional here.
Consequently, MDIO bus providers depend on PHYLIB.
Therefore factor it out and build it together with the libphy core
modules. In addition make all MDIO bus providers under /drivers/net/mdio
depend on PHYLIB. Same applies to enetc MDIO bus provider. Note that
PHYLIB selects MDIO_DEVRES, therefore we can omit this here.

<title>net: phy: Use an internal, searchable storage for the linkmodes</title>

<id>d8c838a57ce25c746c9882ffa427d8bb3f22b526</id>
<content type='text'>
The canonical definition for all the link modes is in linux/ethtool.h,
which is complemented by the link_mode_params array stored in
net/ethtool/common.h . That array contains all the metadata about each
of these modes, including the Speed and Duplex information.

Phylib and phylink needs that information as well for internal
management of the link, which was done by duplicating that information
in locally-stored arrays and lookup functions. This makes it easy for
developpers adding new modes to forget modifying phylib and phylink
accordingly.

However, the link_mode_params array in net/ethtool/common.c is fairly
inefficient to search through, as it isn't sorted in any manner. Phylib
and phylink perform a lot of lookup operations, mostly to filter modes
by speed and/or duplex.

We therefore introduce the link_caps private array in phy_caps.c, that
indexes linkmodes in a more efficient manner. Each element associated a
tuple &lt;speed, duplex&gt; to a bitfield of all the linkmodes runs at these
speed/duplex.

We end-up with an array that's fairly short, easily addressable and that
it optimised for the typical use-cases of phylib/phylink.

That array is initialized at the same time as phylib. As the
link_mode_params array is part of the net stack, which phylink depends
on, it should always be accessible from phylib.
