Subject: Re: [PATCH net v4 2/3] net: libphy: Add stubs to hook IEEE MMD
 Register reads and writes

2014-06-29 18:35 GMT-07:00 Vince Bridgers <vbridgers2013@...il.com>:
> The Micrel ksz9021 PHY does not support standard IEEE standard MMD
> extended register access, therefore requires stubs to fail the read
> register method and do nothing for the write register method when
> libphy attempts to read and/or configure Energy Efficient Ethernet
> features in PHYS that do support those features. This problem
> was observed on an Altera Cyclone V SOC development kit that
> uses the Synopsys EMAC and the Micrel ksz9021 PHY. This patch
> was tested on the same board, and Energy Efficient Ethernet is
> now disabled as expected since the Micrel PHY does not support that
> feature.
