[PATCH v2 1/2] net/fsl_pq_mdio: check TBI address for consistency with mapped range

From: Gerlando Falauto <hidden>
Date: 2015-10-12 07:25:06
Also in: lkml, netdev
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

When configuring the MDIO subsystem it is also necessary to configure
the TBI register. Make sure the TBI is contained within the mapped
register range in order to:
a) make sure the address is computed correctly
b) make users aware that we're actually accessing that register

In case of error, print a message but continue anyway.
