Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next v18 05/10] net: phy: Represent PHY-less SFP modules with phy_port
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 11:42:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8929fbe2-4a46-44c6-ac18-caff743b8075@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260927133619.955236-6-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com>
Le 27/09/2026 à 15:36, Maxime Chevallier a écrit :
> Now that the SFP bus infrastructure notifies when PHY-less modules are
> connected, we can create a phy_port to represent it. Instead of letting
> the SFP subsystem handle that, the Bus' upstream is in charge of
> maintaining that phy_port and register it to the topology, as the
> upstream (in this case a phy device) is directly interacting with the
> underlying net_device.
>
> Add a phy_caps helper to get the achievable modes on this module based
> on what the phy_port representing the bus supports.
