Subject: [PATCH] eth_v10.c phy fix

Hi guys,

This patch allows you to set phy address parameters through ethtool, like:

/bin/ethtool -s eth0 phyad 8

discarded before this.

+        else if (ecmd->phy_address == 32)
+                return -ENODEV;
        return 0;
 }

I've searched the MAINTAINERS file and haven't seen anything regarding
either the source file name or cris.  Please consider applying my
patch to main kernel...

Thanks,
Pieter Steyn
