Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 4/5] net: hpe: Add GXP UMAC Driver
Greetings Andrew,
For some reason I do not see your replies for v1 of this patch or
the mdio driver on lore.kernel. Apologies as I did not intend to
not address your previous review comments. My mistake.

It would only be in loopback mode if it was previously configured
that way. I will remove it. The PHY is internal to the ASIC
and is always the same. Given that information is it acceptable
to configure it here? If not where would be more appropriate?
To help picture the network hardware layout I have uploaded
an image to the hpe github wiki.

Is there a particular function I should be using to achieve this when I
connect to the PHY?
