The normal operation of electrical interface devices depends on the
initialization and configuration of the PHY chip. The task of driving
the PHY chip is implemented in some firmware versions. If firmware
supports the phy driver, it will report a capability flag to driver
in probing process. The driver determines whether to support electrical
device based on the capability bit. If supported, the driver set a flag
indicating that the firmware takes over the PHY, and then the firmware
intializes the PHY.
This patch supports the query of link status and link info, and existing
basic features for electrical device.

Is the "electrical net device" means electrical PHY, would it be OK to update
it as this?
.
There is no electrical PHY. Only electrical PHY is supported in kernel mode.
What do you think?
copper phy?
I am just trying to understand what is "electrical net device" is, or
"electrical interface" mentioned in the commit log, I guess you mean non-optical
interface, if the "copper PHY" is better terminology for it, please use it.
