Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: add driver for Motorcomm yt8511 phy

Add a driver for the Motorcomm yt8511 phy that will be used in the
production Pine64 rk3566-quartz64 development board.
It supports gigabit transfer speeds, rgmii, and 125mhz clk output.

Why is this "__maybe_unused"? This *.c file doesn't have any compilation option
to compile part of it.

The "__maybe_unused" is not needed in this case.

I was simply following convention, for example the realtek.c,
micrel.c, and smsc.c drivers all have this as well.

Maybe they have a reason, but this specific driver doesn't have such.

It's used like this:
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(mdio, <mdio_device_id_tbl>);

And MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op if MODULE isn't defined:

#ifdef MODULE
/* Creates an alias so file2alias.c can find device table. */
#define MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(type, name) \
extern typeof(name) __mod_##type##__##name##_device_table \
__attribute__ ((unused, alias(__stringify(name))))
#else /* !MODULE */
#define MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(type, name)
#endif

In this case the table is unused.

The issue you are describing has been fixed since 2010:

commit cf93c94581bab447a5634c6d737c1cf38c080261
Author: Uwe Kleine-König <[email protected]>
Date: Sun Oct 3 23:43:32 2010 +0000

net/phy: fix many "defined but unused" warnings

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE only expands to something if it's compiled
for a module. So when building-in support for the phys, the
mdio_device_id tables are unused. Marking them with __maybe_unused
fixes the following warnings:

There is a strong push to fix all warnings during build, including W=1 warnings.
For fun I rebuilt without module support and confirmed that removing
this does trigger a W=1 warning.

I'm sorry that I continue to ask, but is net/phy/* usable without MODULE?
If not, the better fix is to require it in Kconfig instead of fixing all drivers.

As far as I can tell, so correct me if I'm wrong, MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
is what permits the module system to automatically load the correct
