From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Including phy.h and phy_fixed.h into net/dsa.h causes phy*.h to be an unnecessary dependency for quite a large amount of the kernel. There's very little which actually requires definitions from phy.h in net/dsa.h - the include itself only wants the declaration of a couple of structures and IFNAMSIZ. Add linux/if.h for IFNAMSIZ, declarations for the structures, phy.h to mv88e6xxx.h as it needs it for phy_interface_t, and remove both phy.h and phy_fixed.h from net/dsa.h. This patch reduces from around 800 files rebuilt to around 40 - even with ccache, the time difference is noticable.
