Re: [PATCH net-next 7/7] net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Register our slave MDIO bus

Hi Florian

When i did the same for mv88e6xxx, i renamed _phy_ to _mdio_. That
keeps with the general pattern for other mdio drivers, making it clear
there can be something else than a phy on the bus.

+	priv->slave_mii_bus->priv = priv;
+	priv->slave_mii_bus->name = "sf2 slave mii";

+	if (dn)
+		snprintf(priv->slave_mii_bus->id, MII_BUS_ID_SIZE, "%s",
+			 ds->dev->of_node->full_name);

I tried lots of different things with mv88e6xxx, including i think
this. The problem is full_name can be quite long, so it gets
truncated. And i often found two different mv88e6xxx ended up with
identical truncated names, since the unique part was getting
discarded.

+	else
+		snprintf(priv->slave_mii_bus->id, MII_BUS_ID_SIZE, "sf2-%d",
+			 index++);

So i ended up with this, which is 100% reliable.
