      ====================
      Introduce PHY listing and link_topology tracking
      
      Here's a V5 of the multi-PHY support series.
      
      At a glance, besides some minor fixes and R'd-by from Andrew, one of the
      thing this series does is remove the ASSERT_RTNL() from the
      topo_add_phy/del_phy operations.
      
      These operations will take a PHY device and put it into the list of
      devices associated to a netdevice. The main thing to protect here is the
      list itself, but since we use xarrays, my naive understanding of it is
      that it contains its own protection scheme. There shouldn't be a need
      for more locking, as the insertion/deletion paths are already hooked
      into the PHY connection to a netdev, or disconnection from it.
      
      Now for the rest of the cover :
      
      As a remainder, this ongoing work aims ultimately at supporting complex
      link topologies that involve multiplexing multiple PHYs/SFPs on a single
      netdevice. As a first step, it's required that we are able to enumerate the
      PHYs on a given ethernet interface.
      
      By just doing so, we also improve already-existing use-cases, namely the
      copper SFP modules support when a media-converter is used (as we have 2
      PHYs on the link, but only one is referenced by net_device.phydev, which
      is used on a variety of netlink commands).
      
      The series is architectured as follows :
      
      - The first patch adds the notion of phy_link_topology, which tracks
      all PHYs attached to a netdevice.
      
      - Patches 2, 3 and 4 adds some plumbing into SFP and phylib to be able
        to connect the dots when building the topology tree, to know which PHY
        is connected to which SFP bus, trying not to be too invasive on phylib.
      
      - Patch 5 allows passing a PHY_INDEX to ethnl commands. I'm uncertain about
        this, as there are at least 4 netlink commands ( 5 with the one introduced
        in patch 7 ) that targets PHYs directly or indirectly, which to me makes
        it worth-it to have a generic way to pass a PHY index to commands, however
        the approach taken may be too generic.
      
      - Patch 6 is the netlink spec update + ethtool-user.c|h autogenerated code
      update (the autogenerated code triggers checkpatch warning though)
      
      - Patch 7 introduces a new netlink command set to list PHYs on a netdevice.
      It implements a custom DUMP and GET operation to allow filtered dumps,
      that lists all PHYs on a given netdevice. I couldn't use most of ethnl's
      plumbing though.
      
      - Patch 8 is the netlink spec update + ethtool-user.c|h update for that
      new command
      
      - Patch 8,9,10 and 11 updates the PLCA, strset, cable-test and pse netlink
      commands to use the user-provided PHY instead of net_device.phydev.
      
      - Finally patch 12 adds some documentation for this whole work.
      
      Examples
      ========
      
      Here's a short overview of the kind of operations you can have regarding
      the PHY topology. These tests were performed on a MacchiatoBin, which
      has 3 interfaces :
      
      eth0 and eth1 have the following layout:
      
      MAC - PHY - SFP
      
      eth2 has this more classic topology :
      
      MAC - PHY - RJ45
      
      finally eth3 has the following topology :
      
      MAC - SFP
      
      When performing a dump with all interfaces down, we don't get any
      result, as no PHY has been attached to their respective net_device :
      
      None
      
      The following output is with eth0, eth2 and eth3 up, but no SFP module
      inserted in none of the interfaces :
      
      [{'downstream-sfp-name': 'sfp-eth0',
        'drvname': 'mv88x3310',
        'header': {'dev-index': 2, 'dev-name': 'eth0'},
        'id': 0,
        'index': 1,
        'name': 'f212a600.mdio-mii:00',
        'upstream-type': 'mac'},
       {'drvname': 'Marvell 88E1510',
        'header': {'dev-index': 4, 'dev-name': 'eth2'},
        'id': 21040593,
        'index': 1,
        'name': 'f212a200.mdio-mii:00',
        'upstream-type': 'mac'}]
      
      And now is a dump operation with a copper SFP in the eth0 port :
      
      [{'downstream-sfp-name': 'sfp-eth0',
        'drvname': 'mv88x3310',
        'header': {'dev-index': 2, 'dev-name': 'eth0'},
        'id': 0,
        'index': 1,
        'name': 'f212a600.mdio-mii:00',
        'upstream-type': 'mac'},
       {'drvname': 'Marvell 88E1111',
        'header': {'dev-index': 2, 'dev-name': 'eth0'},
        'id': 21040322,
        'index': 2,
        'name': 'i2c:sfp-eth0:16',
        'upstream': {'index': 1, 'sfp-name': 'sfp-eth0'},
        'upstream-type': 'phy'},
       {'drvname': 'Marvell 88E1510',
        'header': {'dev-index': 4, 'dev-name': 'eth2'},
        'id': 21040593,
        'index': 1,
        'name': 'f212a200.mdio-mii:00',
        'upstream-type': 'mac'}]
      
       -- Note that this shouldn't actually work as the 88x3310 PHY doesn't allow
      a 1G SFP to be connected to its SFP interface, and I don't have a 10G copper SFP,
      so for the sake of the demo I applied the following modification, which
      of courses gives a non-functionnal link, but the PHY attach still works,
      which is what I want to demonstrate :
      
      @@ -488,7 +488,7 @@ static int mv3310_sfp_insert(void *upstream, const struct sfp_eeprom_id *id)
      
              if (iface != PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GBASER) {
                      dev_err(&phydev->mdio.dev, "incompatible SFP module inserted\n");
      -               return -EINVAL;
      +               //return -EINVAL;
              }
              return 0;
       }
      
      Finally an example of the filtered DUMP operation that Jakub suggested
      in V1 :
      
      [{'downstream-sfp-name': 'sfp-eth0',
        'drvname': 'mv88x3310',
        'header': {'dev-index': 2, 'dev-name': 'eth0'},
        'id': 0,
        'index': 1,
        'name': 'f212a600.mdio-mii:00',
        'upstream-type': 'mac'},
       {'drvname': 'Marvell 88E1111',
        'header': {'dev-index': 2, 'dev-name': 'eth0'},
        'id': 21040322,
        'index': 2,
        'name': 'i2c:sfp-eth0:16',
        'upstream': {'index': 1, 'sfp-name': 'sfp-eth0'},
        'upstream-type': 'phy'}]
      
      And a classic GET operation allows querying a single PHY's info :
      
      {'drvname': 'Marvell 88E1111',
       'header': {'dev-index': 2, 'dev-name': 'eth0'},
       'id': 21040322,
       'index': 2,
       'name': 'i2c:sfp-eth0:16',
       'upstream': {'index': 1, 'sfp-name': 'sfp-eth0'},
       'upstream-type': 'phy'}
      
      Changed in V5:
      - Removed the RTNL assertion in the topology ops
      - Made the phy_topo_get_phy inline
      - Fixed the PSE-PD multi-PHY support by re-adding a wrongly dropped
        check
      - Fixed some typos in the documentation
      - Fixed reverse xmas trees
      
      Changes in V4:
      - Dropped the RFC flag
      - Made the net_device integration independent to having phylib enabled
      - Removed the autogenerated ethtool-user code for the YNL specs
      
      Changes in V3:
      - Added RTNL assertions where needed
      - Fixed issues in the DUMP code for PHY_GET, which crashed when running it
        twice in a row
      - Added the documentation, and moved in-source docs around
      - renamed link_topology to phy_link_topology
      
      Changes in V2:
      - Added the DUMP operation
      - Added much more information in the reported data, to be able to reconstruct
        precisely the topology tree
      - renamed phy_list to link_topology

      net: phy: Introduce ethernet link topology representation · 02018c54
      Maxime Chevallier authored
      Link topologies containing multiple network PHYs attached to the same
      net_device can be found when using a PHY as a media converter for use
      with an SFP connector, on which an SFP transceiver containing a PHY can
      be used.
      
      With the current model, the transceiver's PHY can't be used for
      operations such as cable testing, timestamping, macsec offload, etc.
      
      The reason being that most of the logic for these configuration, coming
      from either ethtool netlink or ioctls tend to use netdev->phydev, which
      in multi-phy systems will reference the PHY closest to the MAC.
      
      Introduce a numbering scheme allowing to enumerate PHY devices that
      belong to any netdev, which can in turn allow userspace to take more
      precise decisions with regard to each PHY's configuration.
      
      The numbering is maintained per-netdev, in a phy_device_list.
      The numbering works similarly to a netdevice's ifindex, with
      identifiers that are only recycled once INT_MAX has been reached.
      
      This prevents races that could occur between PHY listing and SFP
      transceiver removal/insertion.
      
      The identifiers are assigned at phy_attach time, as the numbering
      depends on the netdevice the phy is attached to.
