Re: [PATCH net-next 5/5] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Implement the 6390 external MDIO bus

Hi Andrew,

Sorry but the previous patches with a list of MDIO busses and refactored
PHY ops still seems too much complex to just toggle a bit.

We know which switch port has an external PHY attached to it, right?
So why not just something like this:

    struct mv88e6xxx_chip {
        ...
        u16 external_phys;
        ...
    }

    int mv88e6xxx_g2_smi_phy_read(struct mv88e6xxx_chip *chip, int phy,
                                  int reg, u16 *val)
    {
        u16 cmd = GLOBAL2_SMI_PHY_CMD_OP_22_READ_DATA | (addr << 5) | reg;
        int err;

        if (chip->external_phys & BIT(phy))
            cmd |= GLOBAL2_SMI_PHY_CMD_EXTERNAL;

        ...
    }


Thanks!
