That, in turn, drastically simplifies the code, and drops down line count. As an additional bonus, now there is no need to register MDIO bus for each PHY, all emulated PHYs placed on the platform fixed MDIO bus. There is also no more need to pre-allocate PHYs via .config option, this is all now handled dynamically.

What happened to this patch set? Is it sitting in a tree somewhere waiting for 2.4.25 or does it need more work? Jocke
