net: pcs: xpcs: export xpcs_validate
Calling a function pointer with a single implementation through struct mdio_xpcs_ops is clunky, and the stmmac_do_callback system forces this to return int, even though it always returns zero. Simply remove the "validate" function pointer from struct mdio_xpcs_ops and replace it with an exported xpcs_validate symbol which is called directly by stmmac. priv->hw->xpcs is of the type "const struct mdio_xpcs_ops *" and is used as a placeholder/synonym for priv->plat->mdio_bus_data->has_xpcs. It is done that way because the mdio_bus_data pointer might or might not be populated in all stmmac instantiations. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
