[PATCH RFC 1/6] The file ksz_common.c will be used by other KSZ switch drivers.

[PATCH RFC 1/6] The file ksz_common.c will be used by other KSZ switch drivers.

[Tristram.Ha]

From: Tristram Ha <Tristram.Ha@microchip.com>

Break ksz_common.c into 2 files so that the common code can be used by other KSZ switch drivers.

Hi Tristram

I would of thought this would break the build. You don't add ksz9477.c
until the next patch.

Each patch needs to compile, otherwise you break git bisect.

Eventually the file will need to be broken in two, so you would like to see all 3 changes (Makefile, ksz_common.c, and ksz9477.c) in 1 patch file?

You cannot break the build. Each patch must compile on its own.

Breaking changes up into smaller chunks is good. Makes it easier to
review.  So think about how you can do it without breaking the build,
but have smaller changes. For example, move a group of functions at a
time?

Hi Tristram

Another process thing you are missing. Patch subject should follow a
pattern:

git log --oneline drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx
bb0a2675f72b net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Enable CMODE config support for 6390X
b3e05aa12319 net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: add a multi_chip info flag

9e907d739cc3 net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: add POT operation
a2a05db8a5ed net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: add POT flag to 88E6390

Please set the subject line in your patches similarly.

I believe you should also rename option to CONFIG_MICROCHIP_KSZ_9477
here... and introduce appropriate Kconfig change.
