[PATCH RFCv2 0/6] net: phy: Ethernet PHY powerdown optimization

[Sebastian Hesselbarth]

This is v2 of an RFC sent earlier [1] to reduce power consumption of network
PHYs with link that are either unused or the corresponding netdev is down.

In contrast to RFCv1, this now integrates phy_suspend/phy_resume transparent
to the netdev drivers. Also, phy_suspend now only suspends the PHY if WOL is
disabled. Moreover, the phy state machine calls phy_suspend on entering
HALTED state.

Again, a branch with RFCv2 applied to v3.13-rc2 can also be found at
