service routine. Add a wrapper for PHY_SERVICE(), called phy_service(),
and check device_is_active() there. Make the mii_*() routines call
the PHY service routines thorugh phy_service() instead of PHY_SERVICE().
In mii_phy_resume(), restore a PHY's state after resetting it by
sending a MII_MEDIACHG command. This change makes bnx(4) resume
more reliably and more quickly; it should help other NICs to resume,
too, if they attach PHYs through MII.
standard scheme:
if (<configured> != <wildcard> && <configured> != <real>)
then fail
else
ask device match function
This is handled by config_stdsubmatch() now.
explicitely by a plain integer array
the length in now known to all relevant parties, so this avoids
duplication of information, and we can allocate that thing in
drivers without hacks
-convert submatch() style functions (passed to config_search() or
config_found_sm()) to the locator passing variants
-pass interface attributes in some cases
-make submatch() functions look uniformly as far as possible
-avoid macros which just hide cfdata members, and reduce dependencies
on "locators.h"
mapping an OUI to the MII id registers.
Doing this in the MII_OUI() macro would be too complex, so put it into
a helper function and move the MII id register interpretation stuff
into miivar.h.
instead of discrete function pointers, and extend this to include
a "reset" entry point. Make sure any PHY-specific reset routine is
always used, and provide one for the LXT-970 which disables MII
interrupts (as is done for a few other PHYs we have drivers for).
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
so that they are not includes if no PHY is configured
(avoids code bloat if an interface driver has the "mii" attribute but
mii is not used by the particular version)
in pci/if_tl.c, call config_found() with a print function, instead of
printing ourself a message in if_tl.c if no miibus was found. The print
function is in mii/mii.c (mii_adapter_print()) so that it can be used by any
adapter (idea from the scsi system).
