David S. Miller 21fca6e01b Merge branch 'net-Extend-availability-of-PHY-statistics'
Florian Fainelli says:

====================
net: Extend availability of PHY statistics

This patch series adds support for retrieving PHY statistics with DSA switches
when the CPU port uses a PHY to PHY connection (as opposed to MAC to MAC).
To get there a number of things are done:

- first we move the code dealing with PHY statistics outside of net/core/ethtool.c
  and create helper functions since the same code will be reused
- then we allow network device drivers to provide an ethtool_get_phy_stats callback
  when the standard PHY library helpers are not suitable
- we update the DSA functions dealing with ethtool operations to get passed a
  stringset instead of assuming ETH_SS_STATS like they currently do
- then we provide a set of standard helpers within DSA as a framework and add
  the plumbing to allow retrieving the PHY statistics of the CPU port(s)
- finally plug support for retrieving such PHY statistics with the b53 driver

Changes in v3:

- retrict the b53 change to 539x and 531x5 series of switches
- added a change to dsa_loop.c to help test the feature

Changes in v2:

- got actual testing when the DSA master network device has a PHY that
  already provides statistics (thanks Nikita!)

- fixed the kbuild error reported when CONFIG_PHYLIB=n

- removed the checking of ops which is redundant and not needed

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
