> Subject: [PATCH v2 05/15] net/txgbe: add support for PHY configuration via SW-FW mailbox
> 
> Migrate Amber-Lite PHY configuration to firmware due to complexity.
> Driver now sends mailbox commands for link state changes, handled
> by firmware’s intricate PHY setup process

This patch removes what was added by the previous patch.
I don't understand why. Why not simply merge these into the
previous patch. Or just configure nothing there.

And...

txgbe_e56_check_phy_link() is deleted here, but still be invoked in
txgbe_setup_mac_link_multispeed_fiber_aml() ?
