Gilad is no longer working for Qualcomm, so I'm taking over (as best as I can) this driver. Let's just say it's going to be a learning experience. Rob Herring wrote:

The emac is present on a lot of Qualcomm SOCs, and there are only a few variations of it. It's not really SOC-specific, and the hardware version can be queried by the driver. What did you have in mind? I don't know even have a list of which SOCs has an emac, especially since it's mostly on MSM parts, and I work on the server SOC.

I'm not familiar with that one. Are you talking about bindings/net/mdio-gpio.txt?

That, I can't answer. Aren't all MDIO devices basically the same? It's been a while since I've worked on them.

Is there a sysfs entry for that? We were planning on having a similar ACPI property.
