What is this tag? In linux-next? As patch is not yet in Linus' tree, you 
cannot refer to it like this.

You might need to change this to a "lore" link:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/2db854c7-9ffb-328a-f346-f68982723d29@microchip.com/

This fix looks a bit weird to me. What about proposing a patch to 
Russell like the chunk that you already identified in function 
phylink_major_config()?

Russell, is the requirement for this void function intended?

Do you confirm that all SGMII type interfaces need phylink_pcs.ops?

No thanks. macb is currently the only case where a stub implementation
for pcs_config() is required, which only occurs because the only
appropriate protocol supported there is SGMII and not 1000base-X as
well.

In response to v3 of the patch on 21st October, I said, and I quote:

  I think all that needs to happen is a pcs_ops for the non-10GBASE-R
  mode which moves macb_mac_pcs_get_state() and macb_mac_an_restart()
  to it, and implements a stub pcs_config(). So it should be simple
  to do.

Obviously, my advice was not followed, I didn't spot the lack of it
in v4 (sorry), and the result is the NULL pointer oops.

Fair enough. So Parshuram I'll add my ack tag when you re-send your 
patch with little issues fixed.

Thanks for your help Russell.
