Re: [PATCH net-next 2/7] net: phy: mscc: add support for VSC8584 PHY

Most of the init sequence of a PHY of the package is common to all PHYs
in the package, thus we use the SMI broadcast feature which enables us
to propagate a write in one register of one PHY to all PHYs in the
package.
Hi Quinten

Could you say a bit more about the broadcast. Does the SMI broadcast
go to all PHY everywhere on an MDIO bus, or only all PHYs within one
package? I'm just thinking about the case you need two of these
packages to cover 8 switch ports.

Thanks
