I guess it can also be used like this for live dt modification:
A guess is not good enough. Give us a concrete, in kernel use cases.
I searched the current tree for callers of the OF changeset and
overlay APIs and for OF reconfiguration notifiers. I did not find a
current in-tree path which adds or removes a child below an already
registered MDIO bus.
So lets wait for a real user to come along.
So should I just drop the final "net: mdio: support dynamic OF device
changes" patch and keep the MDIO hardening patches?
