Since this is specific to Ethernet over twisted-pair cable, could you
please rename this to "eth_tp_mdix".


          

Will do for sure.

Similarly, please add the prefix "ETH_TP_" to these.


          

Sure.

        

Chaitanya, I have made the requested changes to the patch in my tree.


      

Thanks. I am very new to procedure of submitting kernel patches. Just want
to make sure if this means that I not need to send another patch to netdev ?

Thanks,
Chaitanya

When there are changes requested on a patch, yes the patch needs to be
re-submitted to netdev.  Since I will be pushing this patch along with
other patches for Intel drivers to Dave once testing has been
completed, there is no need for you to re-submit this patch.  I have
already sucked in the changes that Ben has requested into the patch
that is in my tree.

  

Thanks for the clarification.
