Hi Dan, please make sure W=1 C=1 build is clean:

drivers/net/phy/dp83869.c:103:18: warning: ÃâËdp83869_internal_delayÃââ defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
103 | static const int dp83869_internal_delay[] = {250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I built with W=1 and C=1 and did not see this warning.

What defconfig are you using?
allmodconfig with gcc-10

Can you check if CONFIG_OF_MDIO is set or not? That would be the only
way that warning would come up.
Hm. I don't have the config from this particular build but just running
allmodconfig makes it CONFIG_OF_MDIO=m

OK that makes sense then. That is an existing bug that shows up because of this.

#ifdef CONFIG_OF_MDIO

So the addition of the array exposed an existing issue.

That bug fix can go to net then.
Also net-next is closed right now, you can post RFCs but normal patches
should be deferred until after net-next reopens.
I know net-next is closed.

I pinged David M when it was open about what is meant by "new" patches
in the net-dev FAQ. So I figured I would send the patches to see what
the response was.

To me these are not new they are in process patches. My understand is
New is v1 patchesets.

But now I have the answer.
Oh sorry, I may be wrong in this case, I haven't tracked this series.

It says v6 in $subject.

But still you may be correct I don't know
