Allow phylink_set_pcs() to be called with a NULL pcs argument to remove the PCS from phylink. This is only supported on non-legacy drivers where doing so will have no effect on the mac_config() calling behaviour.

I've read the discussion at https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cfcb368f-a785-9ea5-c446-1906eacd8c03@seco.com/ (local) and I still am not sure that I understand what is the use case behind removing a PCS? _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
