OK. I've got it.

static int loongson_gnet_data(struct pci_dev *pdev,
                   struct plat_stmmacenet_data *plat)
{
     struct net_device *ndev = dev_get_drvdata(&pdev->dev);
     struct stmmac_priv *priv = netdev_priv(ndev);
     struct phy_device *phydev;

     phydev = phy_find_first(priv->mii);
     plat->phy_addr = phydev->mdio.addr;

If I understand your comment correctly, this doesn't seem to work

because the mii hasn't been initialized at this point.


So, how about plat->phy_addr = -1;  ?


Thanks,
