This patchset extends the conditions on which the trigger blinks the LED. It adds a couple more values to enum led_trigger_netdev_modes in include/linux/leds.h. Once it gets merged, i will have a followup patch extending the Marvell PHY driver to make us of them. It will need these additional enum values. I also expect other PHY drivers to gain support for them. Probably the dp83867.c driver since Alexander Stein already has a patch merged adding support for what the current API supports. If we merge this patchset now via netdev, -rc1 should have everything we need for this continuing development work. If we wait to merge these patches until -rc1, only the LED tree has the needed patches, so these network drivers will need a stable branch we can pull into netdev. Both ways work, we can do either. But it is probably easier for everybody to merge now via netdev. Andrew
