> 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. > > Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+ker...@armlinux.org.uk> Applied, thanks.
