Hello The current way to find if the phy is internal is to compare DT phy-mode and emac_variant/internal_phy. But it will negate a possible future SoC where an external PHY use the same phy mode than the internal one. This patchs series adds a new way to find if the PHY is internal, via its compatible.You've already joined in on the discussion for the patch "net: stmmac: dwmac-rk: Add internal phy support". It is pretty much the same issue. Please wait for it to come to a proper conclusion. At least then we can agree on something so different platforms with the same problem don't have diverging solutions.
Yes, this is important.
