This patch series deals with a removing a IP feature that can be found on all currently supported Marvell Ethernet IP (pxa168_eth, mv643xx_eth, mvneta). The MAC IP allows to automatically perform PHY auto-negotiation without software interaction. However, this feature (a) fundamentally clashes with the way libphy works and (b) is unable to deal with quirky PHYs that require special treatment. In this series, pxa168_eth driver is rewritten to completely disable that feature and properly deal with libphy provided PHYs. As usual, a branch on top of v3.18-rc1 can be found at git://git.infradead.org/users/hesselba/linux-berlin.git devel/bg2-bg2cd-eth-v2 Patches 1-5 should go through David's net tree, I'll pick up the DT patches 6-9.
Patches 1-5 applied to net-next, thanks.
