Oops, and thanks for catching this.
 static struct mdio_device_id lxt_tbl[] = {
 	{ 0x78100000, 0xfffffff0 },
 	{ 0x001378e0, 0xfffffff0 },
+	{ 0x00137a10, 0xfffffff0 },
 	{ }
 };
Question about the whole PHY MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE system:

I recently posted a phy driver for the National Semiconductor
DP83640. During development, I used drivers/net/arm/ixp4xx_eth.c as
the MAC driver, which was linked into the kernel (not a module). I
noticed that the phy driver's probe function only gets called if the
phy driver is also statically linked, but not when it is loaded as a
module.

Is this the correct behavior?

Thanks,

Richard
