[PATCH RFC net-next 12/13] net: phylink: add struct phylink_pcs

2020-06-30 Thread Russell King
Add a way for MAC PCS to have private data while keeping independence from struct phylink_config, which is used for the MAC itself. We need this independence as we will have stand-alone code for PCS that is independent of the MAC. Introduce struct phylink_pcs, which is designed to be embedded in a
