- Second, the PHYs give only "bcm54xx" as a compatible property. This is unfortunate, because there are many bcm54xx PHY models, and they have differences which can matter. We add a more precise compatible string, giving the precise PHY model (bcm5461A in this case).You completely removed the "compatible" properties instead. Bad idea.Um... weren't you the one that was just saying compatible properties aren't necessary if you can distinguish the hardware in other ways?
In that case however, the 54xx are fairly different from each other, so please use something more specific. Ben.
