[v3][net-next][PATCH 0/1] net: phy: Add link between phy dev and mac dev

From: Xiaolei Wang
Date: Tue Nov 29 2022 - 21:13:50 EST


Compared with v2, the comment of phydev->devlink is added, and the net-next tree is specified

If the external phy used by current mac interface is
managed by another mac interface, it means that this
network port cannot work independently, especially
when the system suspends and resumes, the following
trace may appear, so we should create a device link
between phy dev and mac dev.
