Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 1/3] of: provide a binding for the 'fixed-link' property
Hello Thomas,

Some minor nitpicks below. Other than that:

You could also add the following:
"this might be the case when using an Ethernet switch whose management
interface is not accessible using the MDIO bus, or for specific PHYs
where the control path of the PHY might be separated from its data
path".

You might want to detail that will be used to fake PHY identification
