PHY_BASIC_FEATURES, but you can look in include/mii.h for other
features.
- Each driver consists of a number of function pointers:
-
- soft_reset: perform a PHY software reset
- config_init: configures PHY into a sane state after a reset.
- For instance, a Davicom PHY requires descrambling disabled.
- probe: Allocate phy->priv, optionally refuse to bind.
- PHY may not have been reset or had fixups run yet.
- suspend/resume: power management
- config_aneg: Changes the speed/duplex/negotiation settings
- aneg_done: Determines the auto-negotiation result
- read_status: Reads the current speed/duplex/negotiation settings
- ack_interrupt: Clear a pending interrupt
- did_interrupt: Checks if the PHY generated an interrupt
- config_intr: Enable or disable interrupts
- remove: Does any driver take-down
- ts_info: Queries about the HW timestamping status
- match_phy_device: used for Clause 45 capable PHYs to match devices
- in package and ensure they are compatible
- hwtstamp: Set the PHY HW timestamping configuration
- rxtstamp: Requests a receive timestamp at the PHY level for a 'skb'
- txtsamp: Requests a transmit timestamp at the PHY level for a 'skb'
- set_wol: Enable Wake-on-LAN at the PHY level
- get_wol: Get the Wake-on-LAN status at the PHY level
- link_change_notify: called to inform the core is about to change the
- link state, can be used to work around bogus PHY between state changes
- read_mmd_indirect: Read PHY MMD indirect register
- write_mmd_indirect: Write PHY MMD indirect register
- module_info: Get the size and type of an EEPROM contained in an plug-in
- module
- module_eeprom: Get EEPROM information of a plug-in module
- get_sset_count: Get number of strings sets that get_strings will count
- get_strings: Get strings from requested objects (statistics)
- get_stats: Get the extended statistics from the PHY device

Of these, only config_aneg and read_status are required to be
assigned by the driver code. The rest are optional. Also, it is
Remove the function pointers documentation which duplicates information found in include/linux/phy.h. Maintaining documentation about two different locations just does not work, but the code is less likely to be outdated.
