Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 0/2] DT MDIO bus of fixed phys

Currently, supporting a fixed-phy in a MAC driver is a bit messy. It
needs to be explicit supported, since a fixed phy is somewhat
different from a normal phy.

These two patches solve this by making fixed-phys appear as normal
PHYs within device tree, allowing them to be referenced by a phandle.
Any MAC driver that supports phy-handle can then automatically support
a fixed-phy without any code change.

Andrew Lunn (2):
  of: of_mdio: Factor out fixed-link parsing
  phy: fixed-phy: Allow DT description of an MDIO bus and PHYs.
