Hi Kishon, Vinod, Andrew, Jacub, and David, 

I just wanted to know if you think that the Generic PHY subsystem might
not be the right place for this Ethernet SerDes PHY driver after all.

Originally I chose this subsystem for historic reasons: The
Microchip/Microsemi Ocelot SerDes driver was added here when it was
upstreamed.
On the other hand the Ocelot Serdes can do both PCIe and Ethernet, so
it might fit the signature of a generic PHY better.

At the moment the acceptance of the Sparx5 Serdes driver is blocking us
from adding the Sparx5 SwitchDev driver (to net), so it is really
important for us to resolve which subsystem the Serdes driver belongs
to.

I am very much looking forward to your response.

Generic PHY IMO is the right place for this series, I shall review it
shortly and do the needful. I have asked Kishon to check the new phy API
and ack it...

Thanks
