td;dr: When applying this series, do not apply patches 12 to 14.

This series intends to add support for offloading MACsec transformations
to hardware enabled devices. The series adds the necessary
infrastructure for offloading MACsec configurations to hardware drivers,
in patches 1 to 6; then introduces MACsec offloading support in the
Microsemi MSCC PHY driver, in patches 7 to 11.

The remaining 4 patches, 12 to 14, are *not* part of the series but
provide the mandatory changes needed to support offloading MACsec
operations to a MAC driver. Those patches are provided for anyone
willing to add support for offloading MACsec operations to a MAC, and
should be part of the first series adding a MAC as a MACsec offloading
provider.
You say four 4 patches, but 12 to 14 is 3.  I think you meant 12 to 15
because 15 depends upon stuff added in 12 :-)

I applied everything except patch #7, which had the unnecessary phy
exports, and also elided 12 to 15.

Thanks.
