Right, I'll resend the patch with improved changelog. This series
is mostly patches for old and rare randconfig bugs, so I had built
thousands of configurations and fixed up everything until new warnings
or errors kept coming up. The FIXED_PHY error came up in the same
driver so I merged the two patches but did not notice how the changelog
failed to explain it.
