Re: [RFC 2/2] net: emac: add support for device-tree based PHY discovery and setup

Is the PHY just powered down by chance (BMCR_PWRDN set?) and resetting
it implicitly clears the power down that seems to be what is going on.

Yes, the PHY is just in the BMCR_PDOWN state. I can do the same
on the WNDR4700, by messing with u-boot:

Hi Christian

What happens if you list the PHYs in the device tree, with their PHY
ID. That should avoid it looking for the ID and getting 0xffff
back. It should just probe the correct PHY driver. If the first thing
the drivers probe function does it reset the power down bit, it might
work.
