[PATCH net] net: phy: Document phydev::dev_flags bits allocation
From: Florian Fainelli
Date: Wed May 26 2021 - 14:46:32 EST
Document the phydev::dev_flags bit allocation to allow bits 15:0 to
define PHY driver specific behavior, bits 23:16 to be reserved for now,
and bits 31:24 to hold generic PHY driver flags.
