From: Calvin Johnson <redacted> Refactor of_phy_find_device() to use fwnode_phy_find_device().I see that there are many users of this, but I think eventually we should kill of_phy_find_device() completely.Looking into other examples of such I think this series may not touch them right now, but clearly state that it's the plan in the future to kill this kind of OF APIs that call fwnode underneath.
That's something I most definitely support - once we have the fwnode APIs in place, the OF specific APIs become an additional maintenance burden that we don't need. So, I would also like to see the old APIs killed. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
