The commit below caused a regression for clearfog-gt-8k, where the link
between the switch and the host does not come up.
Investigation revealed two issues:
- MV88E6xxx DSA no longer allows an in-band link to come up as the link
is programmed to be forced down. Commit "net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: fix
in-band AN link establishment" addresses this.
- The dts configured dissimilar link modes at each end of the host to
switch link; the host was configured using a fixed link (so has no
in-band status) and the switch was configured to expect in-band
status.
With both issues fixed, the regression is resolved.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
