Re: [PATCH 0/9] ax88796: cleanups and convert to phylib and mdio_bitbang

this patch series fixes the phy-read/write problems of the ax88796
(see http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg98982.html).

Patches 1-8 clean verious aspects of the driver. The 9th patch replaces the
handcrafted mdio bitbang loop with the generic mdio_bitbang driver.

This patch series has been tested on the Toradex colibri-320. With the patch
mii-diag gives sound data:

root@grabowski:~ mii-diag
Using the default interface 'eth0'.
Basic registers of MII PHY #16:  3100 782d 003b 1841 01e1 45e1 0003 0000.
 The autonegotiated capability is 01e0.
The autonegotiated media type is 100baseTx-FD.
 Basic mode control register 0x3100: Auto-negotiation enabled.
 You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
 Your link partner advertised 45e1: Flow-control 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx 10baseT-FD 10baseT, w/ 802.3X flow control.
   End of basic transceiver information.

please review and consider to appply.

Pulled into net-next-2.6, thanks.

BTW, we could remove the ARM MIPS etc. dependencies this driver has,
and replace it with HAS_IOMEM, as all the interfaces the driver uses
should be provided by every architecture.
