Change from v1: Drop PHY binding part, use fwnode_property* APIs. The first patch (1/2) rearranges the existing code a little with no functional change to get ready for the second. The second (2/2) does the actual work of adding support to extract the needed information from the ACPI tables.Series applied.
Thank you very much.
In the future it might be better structured to try and get the OF node, and if that fails then try and use the ACPI method to obtain these values.
Our current approach, as you can see in the patch, is the opposite. If ACPI is being used, prefer that over the OF device tree. You seem to be recommending precedence for OF. It should be consistent across all drivers/sub-systems, so do you really think that OF before ACPI is the way to go? Thanks, David Daney
