It is not only the switch driver but also the Mediatek ethernet driver that is
converted to PHYLINK. So we have a conflict in each others work.

I don't no what the right way is to go but I was thinking about 2 options

1. Lets say your work goes in first. I rebase my patches on your changes.
    We collaborate to create an extra PHYLINK patch ontop of my work  
for your SOC.
2. My patches goes in first and you adapt your patches to that.

What do you think?

I have latest changes here [0].

Also my modules did arrive so I can test my changes.
