[PATCH net-next] net: bcmgenet: Allow changing carrier from user-space

From: Florian Fainelli
Date: Fri Jul 03 2020 - 01:01:53 EST


The GENET driver interfaces with internal MoCA interface as well as
external MoCA chips like the BCM6802/6803 through a fixed link
interface. It is desirable for the mocad user-space daemon to be able to
control the carrier state based upon out of band messages that it
receives from the MoCA chip.
