This waas a mistaken version; please revert and apply v3 instead.

Are you sure?

There is no difference in the code of the commit at all between V2 and V3.

v2:
-               mii_reg1 = mdio_read(dev, vp->phys[0], MII_BMSR);

v3:
-               mii_reg1 = mdio_read(dev, vp->phys[0], MII_BMSR);
+               mdio_read(dev, vp->phys[0], MII_BMSR);

Then check what is in the GIT tree I probably applied V3 and replied accidently
to V2 :-)
