Yes.

This lets the +driver know which lanes are available to configure. + +Supporting Protocols +-------------------- + +Each protocol is a combination of values which must be programmed into the lane +registers. To add a new protocol, first add it to :c:type:`enum lynx_protocol +<lynx_protocol>`. Add a new entry to `lynx_proto_params`, and populate the +appropriate fields. Modify `lynx_lookup_proto` to map the :c:type:`enum +phy_mode <phy_mode>` to :c:type:`enum lynx_protocol <lynx_protocol>`. Update +the ``mode_conflict``, ``mode_apply``, and ``mode_init`` helpers are updated to +support your protocol. +These lynx_ keywords should be in double backticks to be consistent (rendered as inline code).
OK
Also, don't forget to add conjunctions: "... Then modify ``lynx_lookup_proto`` ... Finally, update the ... helpers ..."
Personally, I like to be conservative with connectives when describing sequences. I do agree that a "finally" would help here. --Sean

+You may need to modify :c:func:`lynx_set_mode` in order to support your +protocol. This can happen when you have added members to :c:type:`struct +lynx_proto_params <lynx_proto_params>`. It can also happen if you have specific +clocking requirements, or protocol-specific registers to program. + +Internal API Reference +---------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/phy/freescale/phy-fsl-lynx-10g.cOtherwise LGTM, thanks.
