Hi Kison, Vinod,

Can you let me know if you have more comments to this patch series?
Otherwise can you ack on it? Because I would like to have the patches
merged via netdev if that is OK for you.

Any reason for merge thru netdev, there is no dependency and now with
merge window closed, I can pick this up..

Because I would like to send some patches for the lan966x network driver.
And these network patches depend on the serdes driver.

There cant be a compile time dependency... the network driver can use
the phy apis.. I dont think it is required here... Did I miss something
obvious?

You are right, there is no compile time dependency and the network
driver can use the PHY APIs.

But at runtime the network driver will need to configure the serdes
using the PHY API to be able to work properly.

It is fine if it doesn't work at runtime with only one branch, both will
get merged in linux-next and you can test with that if necessary. I'll
let both series go through separate trees.
