There's a discussion about the ACPI vs generic MDIO/PHY change under
initial version of the patchset, however the patches in question were
for now abandoned from further re-sends.

But doesn't the results of that discussion determine whether the way ACPI
is being used in this patch series is what we want to do or not?

Hi David

The patches submitted here don't involve any ACPI for MDIO or PHY. It
is all MAC. And it is using standard ACPI primitives for devices,
nothing new.

It is not setting any precedence for MDIO and PHY. That is totally out
of scope for these patches. Whatever is decided for MDIO and PHY can
be added later.

Indeed, generic helper routines will be used in drivers (net and
others) and the mvpp2 with this patchset is ready to whatever shape
MDIO+ACPI goes in future, so there will be no need to revert any
changes there.

Best regards,
Marcin
