The DP83869 PHY transceiver supports converting from RGMII to 1000base-x.
In this operation mode, autonegotiation can be performed, as described in
IEEE802.3.
The DP83869 has a set of fiber-specific registers located at offset 0xc00.
When the transceiver is configured in RGMII-to-1000base-x mode, these
registers are mapped onto offset 0, which should make reading the
autonegotiation status transparent.
However, the fiber registers at offset 0xc04 and 0xc05 follow the bit
layout specified in Clause 37, and genphy_read_status() assumes a Clause 22
layout. Thus, genphy_read_status() doesn't properly read the capabilities
advertised by the link partner, resulting in incorrect link parameters.
Similarly, genphy_config_aneg() doesn't properly write advertised
capabilities.
Fix the 1000base-x autonegotiation procedure by replacing
genphy_read_status() and genphy_config_aneg() with their Clause 37
equivalents.

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 reStructuredText 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.
