All notable changes to the project are documented in this file.
Tiny bugfix release.
- mdio: The bench operation is now much more reliable when stacked on other devices than regular PHYs (e.g. paged PHYs or Marvell switches).
- mvls: The STU can now be dumped chips from the Peridot generation.
A sprawling release, adding various mvls related introspection features. mvls also gains a JSON output format.
- mvls: The STU can now be dumped (requires Linux 5.17 or later). This is useful now that mv88e6xxx supports offloading of MST states
- mvls: Output can now be formatted as JSON for easier scripting
- mdio: mvls: A subset of MIB counters can now be dumped. This let's you get at counters for DSA ports, which are not reachable from ethtool
- mdio: mvls: The LAG mask and LAG map tables can now be dumped
- mdio: Improve usage message by including the examples from the manual
Primarily fixes a few issues in the kernel module that were found during a quick review from Russell King:
