Also, using ethtool or sysfs is not really attractive for embedded designs (let's not forget the poor embedded guys). I think we need to have a way to specify the pin functions at (or before) kernel boot time. Barring DT and kconfig, using a module parameter is the only way to accomplish this.
No module parameters. The embedded guys can run an ethtool command early in boot right after the driver loads.
