Commit3f1ac7a700("net: ethtool: add new ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API") deprecated the ethtool_cmd::transceiver field, which was fine in premise, except that the PHY library was actually using it to report the type of transceiver: internal or external. Use the first word of the reserved field to put this __u8 transceiver field back in. It is made read-only, and we don't expect the ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API to be doing anything with this anyway, so this is mostly for the legacy path where we do: ethtool_get_settings() -> dev->ethtool_ops->get_link_ksettings() -> convert_link_ksettings_to_legacy_settings() to have no information loss compared to the legacy get_settings API.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
