Thanks David.

I noticed that the DT Documentation patch:
"[v1,1/2] dt: emac: document device-tree based phy discovery and setup"
is still pending with "Changes Requested":
<https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/729658/>

I think this is because of Florian's comment on patch:
"[v1,2/2] net: emac: add support for device-tree based PHY discovery and setup"
If so, can you please queue this documentation update patch for -next?
(I haven't received any comments or complains. If necessary, I can also
resent it.)

Thanks,
Christian
