Not really, no.
Apart from adding the 25000baseKR_S_Full and 25000baseCR_S_Full link
modes (which are indeed newly added in patch 5) to phylink_c73_priority_resolution[],
it also adds the pre-existing 25000baseKR_Full and 25000baseCR_Full link
modes. Without this, phylink fails to resolve the 25G backplane or SFP28
speeds, and it just reports "Link is up - unknown/unknown".
The patch splitting may have been confusing. I had 2 options, either:
(a) - create one patch which adds the missing pre-existing 25G backplane/
SFP28 modes to phylink_c73_priority_resolution[]
- add the CR-S/KR-S link modes to phylink_c73_priority_resolution[]
as part of the general CR-S/KR-S addition
or
(b) - first add the CR-S/KR-S link modes everywhere where phylink
already uses 25GBase-KR/25GBase-CR
- extend the phylink_c73_priority_resolution[] for all 4 link modes
at the same time
I opted for (b) but I can also go with (a) if you prefer it that way.
