[PATCH v7 net-next 0/5] add PLCA RS support and onsemi NCN26000

[Piergiorgio Beruto <piergiorgio.beruto@gmail.com>]

This patchset adds support for getting/setting the Physical Layer 
Collision Avoidace (PLCA) Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) configuration and
status on Ethernet PHYs that supports it.

PLCA is a feature that provides improved media-access performance in terms
of throughput, latency and fairness for multi-drop (P2MP) half-duplex PHYs.
PLCA is defined in Clause 148 of the IEEE802.3 specifications as amended
by 802.3cg-2019. Currently, PLCA is supported by the 10BASE-T1S single-pair
Ethernet PHY defined in the same standard and related amendments. The OPEN
Alliance SIG TC14 defines additional specifications for the 10BASE-T1S PHY,
including a standard register map for PHYs that embeds the PLCA RS (see
PLCA management registers at https://www.opensig.org/about/specifications/).

The changes proposed herein add the appropriate ethtool netlink interface
for configuring the PLCA RS on PHYs that supports it. A separate patchset
further modifies the ethtool userspace program to show and modify the
configuration/status of the PLCA RS.

Additionally, this patchset adds support for the onsemi NCN26000
Industrial Ethernet 10BASE-T1S PHY that uses the newly added PLCA
infrastructure.

Piergiorgio Beruto (5):
  net/ethtool: add netlink interface for the PLCA RS
  drivers/net/phy: add the link modes for the 10BASE-T1S Ethernet PHY
  drivers/net/phy: add connection between ethtool and phylib for PLCA
  drivers/net/phy: add helpers to get/set PLCA configuration
  drivers/net/phy: add driver for the onsemi NCN26000 10BASE-T1S PHY
