Re: [PATCH 0/4 v3] mv643xx_eth: use mvmdio MDIO bus driver

Hi all,

This patch converts the mv643xx_eth driver to use the mvmdio MDIO bus driver
instead of rolling its own implementation. As a result, all users of this
mv643xx_eth driver are converted to register an "orion-mdio" platform_device.
The mvmdio driver is also updated to support an interrupt line which reports
SMI error/completion, and to allow traditionnal platform device registration
instead of just device tree.

David, I think it makes sense for you to merge all of this, since we do
not want the architecture files to be desynchronized from the mv643xx_eth to
avoid runtime breakage. The potential for merge conflicts should be very small.

For the entire series:

Tested-by: Thomas Petazzoni <redacted>

tested on:

 * Armada XP DB, DT-based, which uses the mvneta driver. It is affected
   by the 3 first commits since Armada XP also uses the mvmdio driver.

 * Kirkwood development board, non-DT, which uses the mv643xx_eth
   driver.

Thanks Florian for this work,

Thomas
