[PATCH net-next v2 0/6] r8169: add support for phylink

[javen]

From: Javen Xu <javen_xu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This series patch adds support for phylink. RTL8116af is a fiber mode
card, link status and speed can not be read from standard phy reg. So
we read link status and speed from serdes reg by pcs. We have not changed
the loading process of RTL8127atf.

Hi,

This series patch mainly add support for phylink framework and RTL8116af.
I have tried to remove tp->phydev as much as possible. But for realtek PCIe
nics, they are single chips. Some internal phy shared the same PHY id, but
the required PHY parameters differ depending on the specific MAC/Chip it is
integrated with. And we can not tell them part only using PHY registers. So
firmware here can not be moved to phy driver.
To improve code readability, I merged part of the code which use phylink
independently into rtl8169_init_phy.
And as Andrew reviewed, RTL8127atf should indeed be integrated with phylink.
However, I found that this was a patch submitted independently by Heiner,

So to limit the influence of this patch, I want to know if I can release a separate
patch to refactor it later?

Thanks,
BRs,
Javen
