net: mdio: Kconfig: Group mdio controller drivers in a submenu

[PATCH net-next] net: mdio: Kconfig: Group mdio controller drivers in a submenu

Posted by Maxime Chevallier 1 week, 6 days ago

Currently in menuconfig, all individual drivers for MDIO bus controllers
are directly listed under Device drivers -> Network device support.

Let's group them altogether in a submenu, while keeping the dependency
on PHYLIB.

All options under the new submenu match the drivers and infrastructure
listed under drivers/net/mdio/Kconfig.

No intended functional change besides the menuconfig ordering.

Looks good to me.

Maybe also move the MDIO MUX drivers into a submenu? There are nearly
as many muxes and MDIO drivers.
