There is good reason why the Marvell driver does it this way, and that is because there are shared registers amongst all the comphys on the SoC. Where that isn't the case, and there is no other reason, I would suggest creating multiple phy modes, one per physical PHY in DT, giving their address would be a saner approach. That way, the driver isn't locked in to a model of "we have N PHYs which are spaced by such-and-such apart", and you don't have this "maximum: 7" thing above either. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
