phylink will call the mac_config() callback once per second when polling a PHY or a fixed link. The MAC driver is not supposed to reconfigure the MAC if nothing has changed. Make the mv88e6xxx driver look at the current configuration of the port, and return early if nothing has changed. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
