'phy-connection-type' would convey much more information about what is happening, and once know, should also make the driver automatically configure for Reduced MII or anything else, hence making "ti,davinc-rmii-en" obsolete. -- Florian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
