Hello, I was windering what is the purpose of the file drivers/net/ethernet/samsung/sxgbe/sxgbe_xpcs.c
From git log and comments, it appears this driver is for
Samsung SoCs.

I can't find anything that refers to it, and if I remove it from the makefile:@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_SXGBE_ETH) += samsung-sxgbe.o samsung-sxgbe-objs:= sxgbe_platform.o sxgbe_main.o sxgbe_desc.o \ sxgbe_dma.o sxgbe_core.o sxgbe_mtl.o sxgbe_mdio.o \ - sxgbe_ethtool.o sxgbe_xpcs.o $(samsung-sxgbe-y) + sxgbe_ethtool.o $(samsung-sxgbe-y)and then make clean and recompile, I see no bad effect.
What is the motivation for the experiment to remove it? This file probably gets used only on Samsung SoCs. thanks, -- Shuah
