[PATCH net v3 0/3] Fix PHY handle no longer parsing

From: Michael Sit Wei Hong
Date: Fri Mar 24 2023 - 04:17:41 EST


After the fixed link support was introduced, it is observed that PHY
no longer attach to the MAC properly. So we introduce a helper
function to determine if the MAC should expect to connect to a PHY
and proceed accordingly.

Michael Sit Wei Hong (3):
net: phylink: add phylink_expects_phy() method
net: stmmac: check if MAC needs to attach to a PHY
net: stmmac: remove redundant fixup to support fixed-link mode
