You have just memcpy'd everything from config into mrc. Doesn't this
already include "regmap" and "valid_addr" ?
Oh right... good catch, thanks !
However, these are the only two things used, so does it really make
sense to allocate the full mdio_regmap_config structure, or would a
smaller data structure (of one pointer and one u8) be more
appropriate?
You are correct, other fields are unused so I'll use a new struct for
the mii->priv field.

Thank you for reviewing,

Best regards,

Maxime
