Hello

Since the MDIO bus is a part of the sun8i-emac, does I really need to create such a mdio node ?
All example I found are mdio bus with separate driver. (others driver have the phy directly in [eg]mac node.

Anyway I try the following patch to solve your comments, but it breaks the PHY finding(Could not attach to PHY).

Regards
