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.
