net: mdio: add unlocked mdiodev C45 bus accessors

2026-02-11T10:27:58+00:00

Add helper inline functions __mdiodev_c45_read() and __mdiodev_c45_write(), which are the C45 equivalents of the existing __mdiodev_read() and __mdiodev_write() added by commit e6a45700e7e1 ("net: mdio: add unlocked mdiobus and mdiodev bus accessors") Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle Reviewed-by: Russell King (Oracle) Link: https://patch.msgid.link/8d1d55949a75a871d2a3b90e421de4bd58d77685.1770433307.git.daniel@makrotopia.org Reviewed-by: Vladimir Oltean Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

net: phy: remove modalias-based mdio bus matching

2026-02-03T11:46:55+00:00

Last user dsa_loop has been migrated away from modalias-based matching, so we can remove this feature now. It was the only user of MDIO_NAME_SIZE, so remove also this constant.

net: phy: assign default match function for non-PHY MDIO devices

2025-06-13T01:12:37+00:00

Make mdio_device_bus_match() the default match function for non-PHY MDIO devices. Benefit is that we don't have to export this function any longer. As long as mdiodev->modalias isn't set, there's no change in behavior. mdiobus_create_device() is the only place where mdiodev->modalias gets set, but this function sets mdio_device_bus_match() as match function anyway.

net: phy: fix up const issues in to_mdio_device() and to_phy_device()

2025-05-28T00:35:25+00:00

Both to_mdio_device() and to_phy_device() "throw away" the const pointer attribute passed to them and return a non-const pointer, which generally is not a good thing overall. Fix this up by using container_of_const() which was designed for this very problem.

driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *

2024-07-03T13:16:54+00:00

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct device_driver in read-only memory. Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of() calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *. For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.) That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their struct device * in read-only-memory. Cc: Rafael J.
