5 PHY link topology
11 The PHY link topology representation in the networking stack aims at representing

25 Commands that needs to configure the PHY will go through the net_device.phydev

41 Knowing that some modules embed a PHY, the actual link is more like ::

47 In this case, the SFP PHY is handled by phylib, and registered by phylink through
50 Now some Ethernet controllers aren't able to output a serialized interface, so
51 we can't directly connect them to an SFP cage. However, some PHYs can be used
52 as media-converters, to translate the non-serialized MAC MII interface to a

76 Besides registering the PHY to the topology, this call will also assign a unique
77 index to the PHY, which can then be reported to userspace to refer to this PHY
