Hi Ben,

how does look like your propose work about PHY lib?

Thanks, Michal

I'd like to have the PHY library included in the 02.2009 release. One of the things I'm struggling with is how so specify MDIO busses and PHY addresses. For example, is it preferable to have a bunch of CONFIG_PHY_ADDR_x or a board-code struct? How to link/register PHYs with MDIO buses, since conceivably a board could have hardware MDIO and/or bit-banged MDIO, and any PHY could be on any bus.

If we pulled all board info from a device tree, as people were talking about a few months ago, this would be easy and scalable. I don't know the status of that idea, and am very interested in what you and others think.

regards, Ben
