phy_power_on() is a local scope one within the driver, since the return value of the phy_power_on() function is always 0, checking its return value is redundant. Signed-off-by: 李哲 <redacted>
Patch looks generally good, nice to see the reverse christmas tree ordering of local variables resulting from this patch. However, the subject line needs to be adjusted to meet netdev requirements. Please see https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.1/networking/netdev-FAQ.html#q-how-do-i-indicate-which-tree-net-vs-net-next-my-patch-should-be-in Please wait a minimum of one day before sending an updated version. Reviewed-by: Russell King (Oracle) <redacted> Please can you also follow up with a patch to change the function name from "phy_power_on()" as this may conflict with the PHY subsystems "int phy_power_on(struct phy *phy);" "rk_phy_power_set()" would probably be a good alternative name, especially as when the 2nd argument is false, the function turns the PHY off.
