Subject: [PATCH v6 net 0/4] Fix broken link on Xilinx's AXI Ethernet in SGMII mode

The Ethernet driver use phy-handle to reference the PCS/PMA PHY. This
could be a problem if one wants to configure an external PHY via phylink,
since it use the same phandle to get the PHY. To fix this, introduce a
dedicated pcs-handle to point to the PCS/PMA PHY and deprecate the use
of pointing it with phy-handle. A similar use case of pcs-handle can be
seen on dpaa2 as well.

--- patch v5 ---
 - Re-applying the v4 patch on the net tree.
 - Describes the pcs-handle DT binding at ethernet-controller level.
--- patch v6 ---
 - Remove "preferrably" to clearify usage of pcs_handle.

Andy Chiu (4):
  net: axienet: setup mdio unconditionally
  net: axienet: factor out phy_node in struct axienet_local
  dt-bindings: net: add pcs-handle attribute
  net: axiemac: use a phandle to reference pcs_phy
