[PATCH net-next v8 00/13] Introduce PHY listing and link_topology tracking

[Maxime Chevallier]

Hello everyone,

This is V8 for the link topology addition, allowing to track all PHYs
that are linked to netdevices. V8 is merely V7 rebased on net-next with
a few basic adaptations due to the at803x driver split. I'm leaving the
V7 explanations below still.

In V7 was introduced the protection of the main internal API
entrypoints (link_topo_init/cleanup, link_topo_add/del_phy) by
IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_PHYLIB).

That's restrictive, but it looks difficult to do otherwise while still keep the
data structure opaque and not add dependency clutter with PHYLIB.

As you can tell, I'm unsure about this, so please don't hesitate to
comment on that part :)

The other changes are very minor, the only one is a call to netdev_put
in the .done() netlink callback.

As a remainder, here's what the PHY listings would look like :
 - eth0 has a 88x3310 acting as media converter, and an SFP module with
   an embedded 88e1111 PHY
 - eth2 has a 88e1510 PHY

# ethtool --show-phys *

PHY for eth0:
PHY index: 1
Driver name: mv88x3310
PHY device name: f212a600.mdio-mii:00
Downstream SFP bus name: sfp-eth0
PHY id: 0
Upstream type: MAC

PHY for eth0:
PHY index: 2
Driver name: Marvell 88E1111
PHY device name: i2c:sfp-eth0:16
PHY id: 21040322
Upstream type: PHY
Upstream PHY index: 1
Upstream SFP name: sfp-eth0

PHY for eth2:
PHY index: 1
Driver name: Marvell 88E1510
PHY device name: f212a200.mdio-mii:00
PHY id: 21040593
Upstream type: MAC
