The Marvell scheme already implemented doesn't work for Broadcom. For clause 45, there are more address bits... > I'd like to hear from others if it would be > valuable to have a 'reg-init-sequence' property of the above format. A clause 45 specific property might work for *all* 10G PHYs, the same cannot be said for clause 22, hence my idea to put 'c45' in the name > What does the device type cell indicate?

Clause 45 defines several different standard device ids. register id: a 16-bit address that identifies a particular 16-bit register within the 'device' (or sub-device if you will. Does that answer your question? In theory we could compose the 5-bit device id and 16-bit register address into a single 32-bit cell in the init sequence property, but I chose to have them separate. >> +static int __init bcm8706_init(void) >> +{ >> + int ret; >> + >> + ret = phy_driver_register(&bcm8706_driver); >> + >> + return ret; >> +} >> +module_init(bcm8706_init); > or simply: > static int __init bcm8706_init(void) > { > return phy_driver_register(&bcm8706_driver); > } > module_init(bcm8706_init); > Yes, I will make that change.
