Uggg, I guess this is a case of a defacto standard then if the kernel
doesn't even support it.

Maybe I forgot to CC you on patch sent to Grant only, I sent a patch a
while ago for of_get_phy_mode() to look for both "phy-mode" and
"phy-connection-type" since the former has been a Linux invention, but
the latter is ePAPR specified.

Here is a link to the actual patch in question, not sure which tree
Grant applied it to though:

http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1311.2/00048.html

        It's not the patch mail, it's Grant's "applied" reply, patch is mangled in
this reply, and I couldn't follow the thread. Here's the actual patch mail:

http://marc.info/?l=devicetree&m=138449662807254

        Florian, I didn't find this patch in Grant's official tree, so maybe you
should ask him where is the patch already?

Sorry, I accidentally dropped it. It will be in the next merge window.

       Already saw it, thanks. Would that it was in 3.14 instead of course, so
that I could use "phy-connection-type" in my binding...

Is 3.14 broken because of missing the patch? If so I'll get it merged as
a bug fix.

      No, it's not. I could have used "phy-connection-type" in my binding
destined for 3.15 and document it as a preferred property as well.

You still can. We just need to make sure that your patch is applied on

     Patches.

top of the phy-connection-type patch.

     I'm not sure this trick is possible if the patches are merged via the
different trees...

There are two ways to do it. A) by having a common merge commit
containing that patch and merged into both branches, or B) just merging
the patch in the same tree.

Normally I'd suggest B), but I've already picked up the patch and I try
very hard not to rebase my commit tree. However, since the branch is
stable, you can ask for my branch to be merged into the net branch
before applying the dependant patches. The relevant commit id is
cf4c9eb5a4, and it is in my devicetree/next branch on
git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux

   David, would it be possible for you to merge this into net-next?

WBR, Sergei
