linux.git/drivers/net/phy/fixed_phy.c, branch v4.0 Linux kernel source tree net: phy: fixed: allow setting no update_link callback 2015-01-26T00:02:13+00:00 Florian Fainelli f.fainelli@gmail.com 2015-01-21T00:41:59+00:00 799d44442c4821dec65fc59baa4ddc6783a25c54 fixed_phy_set_link_update() contains an early check against a NULL callback pointer, which basically prevents us from removing any previous callback we may have set. The users of the fp->link_update callback deal with a NULL callback just fine, so we really want to allow "removing" a link_update callback to avoid dangling callback pointers during e.g: module removal.

net: Allow FIXED_PHY to be modular. 2014-12-16T20:02:23+00:00 David S.

Otherwise we get things like:

warning: (NET_DSA_BCM_SF2 && BCMGENET && SYSTEMPORT) selects FIXED_PHY which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && PHYLIB=y)

In order to make this work we have to rename fixed.c to fixed_phy.c
because the regulator drivers already have a module named "fixed.o".
