I don't quite understand. I've said there are two register spaces. One 
is the bus to access the PHY (i.e. perictrl for mv100 and cv200 and mmio 
for mv200), the other is the PHY register space. So if you are talking 
about the prior one, then no, because the PHY is attached to different 
buses. But for the latter, yes.


So here we are talking about two devices. One is the PHY, the other is 
the bus the phy attached to.


The old binding is mixing all the things up because INNO PHY is the only 
device attached to the dedicated bus implemented by perictrl. But it's 
not how it works. The binding is for the PHY, not for the bus.


For mv100 and cv200, it's: cpu->perictrl->inno-phy. For mv200, it's: 
cpu->inno-phy. cpu always accesses peripherals with MMIO, both for 
perictrl and mv200-inno-phy. But if the inno-phy is attached to 
perictrl. CPU must access the registers of inno-phy through 
perictrl(Here perictrl act as a bus driver like a I2C/SPI controller).  
For mv100 and cv200, the difference here is only related to to perictrl, 
not the PHY itself. For mv200, perictrl does not implement this strange 
bus anymore, instead the phy is attached to system bus directly.


I don't understand why you say they are not compatible, simply because 
they are attached to different buses. For x86, peripherals are mapped in 
dedicated IO address spaces with `IN` and `OUT`, while for ARM, they are 
all attached to MMIO buses like APB/AHB/AXI etc.. So peripherals for x86 
and peripherals for arm are also not compatible?


The binding now is still broken. I admit it's true.
