Select the fixed phy support on all targets to make this build correctly, not just on coldfire.
Notat that Essentially the stub helpers in include/linux/phy_fixed.h cannot be used correctly because of this build time dependency, and we could just remove them to hit the build failure more often when a driver uses them without the 'select FIXED_PHY'.

ASoC: Fixes for v6.19
We've been quite busy with fixes since the merge window, though not in any particularly exciting ways - the standout thing is the fix for _SX controls which were broken by a change to how we do clamping, otherwise it's all fairly run of the mill fixes and quirks.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols:
- Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.
Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.
- Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC queue.
Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle, but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.
Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet reordering.
- Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.
- Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already did for Rx skbs).
- Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.
- Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.
- Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for packets.
- Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock pressure, improving the Rx performance.
- Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.
- Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting (using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using cgroups.
- Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.
- Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of RTT.
- Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the connection RTT is low.
- Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations.
- Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload.
- Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC 5837).
- Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449).
- Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL.
- Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock.
- Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC.
- Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length, from Kees.
- Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers.
- Some preparations for slimming down struct page.
- YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard.
- Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly computed derived statistics and summarized system state.
Driver API:
- Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface.
- Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for 100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification.
- Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in zl3073x).
- Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads IPsec and performs RSS.
- Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.
- Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.
- Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.
- Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes.
Device drivers:
- Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support.
- Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series.
- Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control, and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET operations for PHY timestamping.
- Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for reading the Rx ring count.
- Significant refactoring efforts in the STMMAC driver, which supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs.

Merge branch 'net-phy-remove-fixed_phy_add-and-first-its-users'
Heiner Kallweit says:
==================== net: phy: remove fixed_phy_add and first its users
fixed_phy_add() has a number of problems/disadvantages: - It uses phy address 0 w/o checking whether a fixed phy with this address exists already. - A subsequent call to fixed_phy_register() would also use phy address 0, because fixed_phy_add() doesn't mark it as used. - fixed_phy_add() is used from platform code, therefore requires that fixed phy code is built-in.
fixed_phy_add() has only two users - coldfire/5272, using fec - bcm47xx, using b44
So migrate fec and b44 to use fixed_phy_register_100fd(), afterwards remove usage of fixed_phy_add() from the two platforms, and eventually remove fixed_phy_add(). ====================

net: fec: register a fixed phy using fixed_phy_register_100fd if needed
In case of coldfire/5272 a fixed phy is used, which so far is created by platform code, using fixed_phy_add(). This function has a number of problems, therefore create a potentially needed fixed phy here, using fixed_phy_register_100fd.
Note 1: This includes a small functional change, as coldfire/5272 created a fixed phy in half-duplex mode. Likely this was by mistake, because the fec MAC is 100FD-capable, and connection is to a switch.
Note 2: Usage of phy_find_next() makes use of the fact that dev_id can only be 0 or 1.
Due to lack of hardware, this is compile-tested only.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "Core:
- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.
- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope, under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times faster.
- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane scalability.
- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded abstraction layers and improving significantly the related micro-benchmarks.
- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10% performance improvement in related stream tests.
- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable() on PREMPT_RT.
- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.
Netfilter:
- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still use this interface.
- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and flowtables.
- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.
- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better introspection.
BPF:
- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs using the "tc qdisc" command.
- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.
Protocols:
- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.
- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.
- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always matches the nexthop device.
- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS, and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.
- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit in the fast path.
- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.
Driver API:
- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new unsupported flags.
- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.
- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for dump operations targeting PHYs.
Tests and tooling:
- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and qdisc layer configuration.
- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic netlink output.
- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.
- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.
New hardware / drivers:
- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the user-space implementation.
- Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.
- Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.
- AMD Renoir ethernet device.
- ReakTek MT9888 2.5G ethernet PHY driver.
- Aeonsemi 10G C45 PHYs driver.

net: phy: remove Kconfig symbol MDIO_DEVRES
MDIO_DEVRES is only set where PHYLIB/PHYLINK are set which select MDIO_DEVRES. So we can remove this symbol.
Note: Due to circular module dependencies we can't simply make mdio_devres.c part of phylib.
