Re: [PATCH 3/6] arm: convert pcm037 platform to use smsc911x

I just gave it a try on our pcm037 board and it turns out that it doesn't work. The reason for this is not the driver, it's just that the hardware designers got the direction of the phy detect pin wrong. The pcm037 uses an internal phy, but the detection pin is pulled high :( The old driver worked around this by falling back to the internal phy when no valid phy id is detected. The new driver lacks this fallback. Instead of falling back we could also introduce a SMSC911X_FORCE_INTERNAL_PHY flag. What do you think?
