[PATCH] phylib: Make PHYs children of their MDIO bus, not the bus' parent.

From: David Daney <hidden>
Date: 2015-08-21 23:16:13

From: David Daney <redacted>

commit 18ee49ddb0d2 ("phylib: rename mii_bus::dev to mii_bus::parent")
changed the parent of PHY devices from the bus to the bus parent.

Then, commit 4dea547fef1b ("phylib: rework to prepare for OF
registration of PHYs") moved the code into phy_device.c

At this point, it is somewhat unclear why the change was seen as
necessary.  But, when we look at the device model tree in
/sys/devices, it is clearly incorrect.  The PHYs should be children of
their MDIO bus.

Change the PHY's parent device to be the MDIO bus device.

Hi Sergei

What phy is it?

Do you have phy DT properties in the MAC node?

Hi Sergei

What phy is it?

    Micrel KSZ8041RNLI for sh_eth, KSZ9031 for ravb.

Do you have phy DT properties in the MAC node?

    I have PHY subnodes (with props) in the MAC node.

O.K, so this could be the same problems as

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/15/726

https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg83183.html

We never got a resolution to that problem.

It needs somebody with none working hardware to do some debugging to
figure out exactly what is going on and why my idea to fix it does not
work.
