[PATCH net-next] net: phy: Improved phy_error() with function and error code

From: Florian Fainelli
Date: Mon Mar 20 2023 - 17:35:42 EST


When the PHY library calls phy_error() something bad has happened, and
we halt the PHY state machine. To facilitate debugging, introduce
phy_error_precise() which allows us to provide useful information about
the calling function and the error actually returned to facilitate
debugging.
