SubjectRe: [PATCH net-next v2 0/3] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: isolate Global2 support

> Registers of Marvell chips are organized in internal SMI devices.
>
> One of them at address 0x1C is called Global2. It provides an extended
> set of registers, used for interrupt control, EEPROM access, indirect
> PHY access (to bypass the PHY Polling Unit) and cross-chip setup.
>
> Most chips have it, but some others don't (older ones such as 6060).
>
> Now that its related code is isolated in mv88e6xxx_g2_* functions, move
> it to its own global2.c file, making most of its setup code static.
>
> Then make its compilation optional, which allows to reduce the size of
> the mv88e6xxx driver for devices such as home routers embedding Ethernet
> chips without Global2 support.
>
> It is present on most recent chips, thus enable its support by default.
>
> Changes in v2: fail probe if GLOBAL2 is required but not enabled.

Series applied, thanks.
