The net fixed phy driver does not require the creation of a platform device. Originally, this approach was chosen for simplicity when the driver was first implemented. With the introduction of the lightweight faux device interface, we now have a more appropriate alternative. Migrate the device to utilize the faux bus, given that the platform device it previously created was not a real one anyway. This will get rid of the fake platform device.You were asked to split this up by subsystem. So why is this 8/8? There are not 7 other patches for netdev.
Sorry for that. I admit this patch unlike other patches in the series is not dependent on the macro introduced in 1/8. I should have posted this independent of the series, my bad. I will do that. Thanks! -- Regards, Sudeep
