2009-07-22	of/mdio: Add support function for Ethernet fixed-link property	Anton Vorontsov	1	-0/+3
	Fixed-link support is broken for the ucc_eth, gianfar, and fs_enet device drivers. The "OF MDIO rework" patches removed most of the support. Instead of re-adding fixed-link stuff to the drivers, this patch adds a support function for parsing the fixed-link property and obtaining a dummy phy to match. Note: the dummy phy handling in arch/powerpc is a bit of a hack and needs to be reworked. This function is being added now to solve the regression in the Ethernet drivers, but it should be considered a temporary measure until the fixed link handling can be reworked.

2009-04-27	openfirmware: Add OF phylib support code	Grant Likely	1	-0/+22
	Add support for parsing the device tree for PHY devices on an MDIO bus. Currently many of the PowerPC ethernet drivers are open coding a solution for reading data out of the device tree to find the correct PHY device. This patch implements a set of common routines to: a) let MDIO bus drivers register phy_devices described in the tree, and b) let MAC drivers find the correct phy_device via the tree.
