docs/networking: fix formatting of Intel drivers documentation

2019-02-06T00:08:54+00:00

The documentation of Intel drivers is missing the heading adornment for
document titles.

This causes the generated html to have TOC entries from these documents to
appear as top level TOC entries:

* Linux* Base Driver for Intel(R) Ethernet Network Connection
* Contents
* Identifying Your Adapter
* Command Line Parameters
  * AutoNeg
  * Duplex
  ...

Add overline heading adornment to document titles.

net: phy: fixed-phy: Drop GPIO from fixed_phy_add()

2019-02-05T02:33:36+00:00

All users of the fixed_phy_add() pass -1 as GPIO number
to the fixed phy driver, and all users of fixed_phy_register()
pass -1 as GPIO number as well, except for the device
tree MDIO bus.

Any new users should create a proper device and pass the
GPIO as a descriptor associated with the device so delete
the GPIO argument from the calls and drop the code looking
requesting a GPIO in fixed_phy_add().

In fixed phy_register(), investigate the "fixed-link"
node and pick the GPIO descriptor from "link-gpios" if
this property exists. Move the corresponding code out
of of_mdio.c as the fixed phy code anyways requires
OF to be in use.

Merge tag 'docs-5.0' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

2018-12-29T19:21:49+00:00

Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
 "A fairly normal cycle for documentation stuff. We have a new document
  on perf security, more Italian translations, more improvements to the
  memory-management docs, improvements to the pathname lookup
  documentation, and the usual array of smaller fixes.

  As is often the case, there are a few reaches outside of
  Documentation/ to adjust kerneldoc comments"

net: documentation: build a directory structure for drivers

2018-12-05T19:30:06+00:00

Documentation/networking/ is full of cryptically named files with
driver documentation.  This makes finding interesting information
at a glance really hard.  Move all those files into a directory
called device_drivers (since not all drivers are for device) and
fix up references.

RFC v0.1 -> RFC v1:
 - also add .txt suffix to the files which are missing it (Quentin)
