If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Nov 9 10:19:57 CET 2017 From: Volodymyr Bendiuga <volodymyr.bendiuga@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2017 17:05:04 +0100 Subject: phy: increase size of MII_BUS_ID_SIZE and bus_id From: Volodymyr Bendiuga <volodymyr.bendiuga@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4567d686f5c6d955e57a3afa1741944c1e7f4033 ] Some bus names are pretty long and do not fit into 17 chars. Increase therefore MII_BUS_ID_SIZE and phy_fixup.bus_id to larger number. Now mii_bus.id can host larger name.
