Subject: RE: [PATCH net-next v2 0/9] Add support for OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x
MACPHY Serial Interface
Hi all,
thank you for this discussion.
Since this framework is supposed to be a base for every potential OA-TC6 MACPHY implementation, I propose this could be a joint work.
Selvamani and I spotted some points in the code where we could optimize the performance and we would like to add the required changes to accommodate all potential implementations.
Would it be possible to share with the group the latest patches?
Thanks,
Piergiorgio

Hi Andrew,
We understand your concern. We are working on this task with full focus.
Initially there were some implementation change proposal from our internal reviewers to improve the performance and code quality.
Consequently the testing of the new implementation took some while to bring it to a good shape.
Our internal reviewers Steen Hegelund and Horatiu Vultur are actively participating in reviewing my patches. I already have talked to them and we are in progress together to get the next version ready for the submission. We are trying our level best and working hard to push the next set of patches to the mainline as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Parthiban V
