The call of of_get_child_by_name() will cause refcount incremented
for leds, if it succeeds, it should call of_node_put() to decrease
it, fix it.

<title>net: phy: realtek: Fix setting of PHY LEDs Mode B bit on RTL8211F</title>

<id>a2f5c505b4378cd6fc7c4a44ff3665ccef2037db</id>
<content type='text'>
The current implementation incorrectly sets the mode bit of the PHY chip.
Bit 15 (RTL8211F_LEDCR_MODE) should not be shifted together with the
configuration nibble of a LED- it should be set independently of the
index of the LED being configured.
As a consequence, the RTL8211F LED control is actually operating in Mode A.
Fix the error by or-ing final register value to write with a const-value of
RTL8211F_LEDCR_MODE, thus setting Mode bit explicitly.

Commit 708405f3e56e ("net: phy: aquantia: wait for the GLOBAL_CFG to
start returning real values") introduced a workaround for an issue
observed on aqr115c. However there were never any reports of it
happening on other models and the workaround has been reported to cause
and issue on aqr113c (and it may cause the same on any other model not
supporting 10M mode).

Let's limit the impact of the workaround to aqr113, aqr113c and aqr115c
and poll the 100M GLOBAL_CFG register instead as both models are known
to support it correctly.

<title>net: phy: realtek: add support for RTL8366S Gigabit PHY</title>

<content type='text'>
The PHY built in to the Realtek RTL8366S switch controller was
previously supported by genphy_driver. This PHY does not implement MMD
operations. Since commit 9b01c885be36 ("net: phy: c22: migrate to
genphy_c45_write_eee_adv()"), MMD register reads have been made during
phy_probe to determine EEE support. For genphy_driver, these reads are
transformed into 802.3 annex 22D clause 45-over-clause 22
mmd_phy_indirect operations that perform MII register writes to
MII_MMD_CTRL and MII_MMD_DATA. This overwrites those two MII registers,
which on this PHY are reserved and have another function, rendering the
PHY unusable while so configured.

Proper support for this PHY is restored by providing a phy_driver that
declares MMD operations as unsupported by using the helper functions
provided for that purpose, while remaining otherwise identical to
genphy_driver.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
     but are getting closer.

   - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection

   - arch_topology minor changes

   - other minor driver core cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
  reported problems"

In prevision to add new UAPI for hwtstamp we will be limited to the struct
ethtool_ts_info that is currently passed in fixed binary format through the
ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ethtool ioctl. It would be good if new kernel code
already started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that
structure, similar in concept to struct kernel_hwtstamp_config vs struct
hwtstamp_config.

Since struct ethtool_ts_info is in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, here
we introduce the kernel-only structure in include/linux/ethtool.h.
The manual copy is then made in the function called by ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO.

Change the API to select MAC default time stamping instead of the PHY.
Indeed the PHY is closer to the wire therefore theoretically it has less
delay than the MAC timestamping but the reality is different. Due to lower
time stamping clock frequency, latency in the MDIO bus and no PHC hardware
synchronization between different PHY, the PHY PTP is often less precise
than the MAC. The exception is for PHY designed specially for PTP case but
these devices are not very widespread. For not breaking the compatibility
default_timestamp flag has been introduced in phy_device that is set by
the phy driver to know we are using the old API behavior.
