Dear Darius Augulis,

I see that miiphybb.c driver is used only with PPC architecture yet. I would like to use it with ARM. Would be it reasonable to make this driver arch independent? I have small patch and it changes defined ports and pins with function calls, which should be provided by each CPU. I

Hm... I fail to see why such a change is needed.

attached this patch for RFC. If it is suitable, I may need help with changing all > 20 PPC boards using this driver, because I don't have experience with PPC. Would be there some volunteers willing to help? Or

Sure. The plan (to make this architecture independent) makes a lot sense.

...

• MDIO_ACTIVE;
• MDIO (1);

• mii_mdio_active(1);
• mii_mdio_set(1); for (j = 0; j < 32; j++) {

• MDC (0);
  

• mii_mdc_set(0);
  

  MIIDELAY;

• MDC (1);
  

• mii_mdc_set(1);
  

  MIIDELAY;

Why are these changes necessary?

Why cannot you simple add this to your board config file:

#define MDIO_ACTIVE mii_mdio_active(1) #define MDIO(x) mii_mdio_set(x) #define MDC(x) mii_mdc_set(x) ...

?
