From 9cc8a6e62624e4a0e0bcf8dfd10cc89db6e0f14b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pawel Dembicki Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2024 22:11:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: ethtool: Add impedance mismatch result code to cable test Some PHYs can recognize during a cable test if the impedance in the cable is okay. They can detect reflections caused by impedance discontinuity between a regular 100 Ohm cable and an abnormal part with a higher or lower impedance. This commit introduces a new result code: ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_RESULT_CODE_IMPEDANCE_MISMATCH, which represents the results of a cable test indicating issues with impedance integrity.
