Can someone clear me purpose of mii_phy.h? It looks like that it is really ancient file which hasn't been touched from 2003.
It is use for two files [monstr@monstr u-boot]$ grep -rn "mii_phy.h" * board/ep8260/mii_phy.c:2:#include <mii_phy.h> board/rpxsuper/mii_phy.c:2:#include <mii_phy.h>
yes, if you look at old files, you often see people using generic names when they should have been driver or arch specific, or people who thought about starting a framework but then nothing ever materialized.
The best will be to remove mii_phy entirely.
sounds good to me ... i imagine the existing functionality might need to be converted into one of the common net frameworks that has been adopted ?
Who is responsible for ep8260 and rpxsuper boards?
For ep8260: I cc'ed Frank Panno but his email address doesn't work.
Thanks, Michal
