[PATCH net-next v4 00/15] Introduce an ethernet port representation

[Maxime Chevallier <maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com>]

Hello everyone,

This is V4 of the series introducing the phy_port infrastructure.

Previous version was incorrectly labeled V1, all previous versions can
be found here :

V3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250207223634.600218-1-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com/
RFC V2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250122174252.82730-1-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com/
RFC V1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20241220201506.2791940-1-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com/

The goal of that work is to lay the ground for multi-port devices,
either using multi-port PHY devices, or MII-side multiplexers.

for now, that series only focuses on the PHY device aspect, and includes
no uAPI and no muxing support yet.

The key points from that series are :

 - The introduction of a dedicated object to represent a port
 - The introduciton of a new binding to represent these ports in
   devicetree, to accurately describe multi-port devices
 - The support of ports for PHY devices, including PHY-drivert SFP
   busses through a generic phylib set of upstream ops
 - The MAINTAINERS file was updated to account for the new files
 - Some documentation :)

Changes in V4 :

 - Introduced a kernel doc
 - Reworked the mediums definitions in patch 2
 - QCA807x now uses the generic SFP support
 - Fixed some implementation bugs to build the support list based on the
   interfaces supported on a port
