Hi Andrew,

Yes, that's what sounds logical, however that node does not become the 
parent device net class nodes:

root@...0:/sys/class/net# ls -l
[...]
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1  1970 eth0 -> 
../../devices/platform/ocp/4a100000.ethernet/net/eth0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1  1970 eth1 -> 
../../devices/platform/ocp/4a100000.ethernet/net/eth1
[...]

root@...0:/sys/class/net# cd eth0
root@...0:/sys/devices/platform/ocp/4a100000.ethernet/net/eth0# ls -l
[...]
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1  1970 device -> 
../../../4a100000.ethernet
[...]

root@...0:/sys/class/net# cd eth1
root@...0:/sys/devices/platform/ocp/4a100000.ethernet/net/eth1# ls -l
[...]
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1  1970 device -> 
../../../4a100000.ethernet
[...]

IMHO it should be the CPSW driver that should istantiate two separate 
devices, one for each cpsw_emacX node in the device tree.

Do you think they could be receptive to such proposal?

Thanks,
Bye,
