This patch series deals with a removing a IP feature that can be found
on all currently supported Marvell Ethernet IP (pxa168_eth, mv643xx_eth,
mvneta). The MAC IP allows to automatically perform PHY auto-negotiation
without software interaction.
However, this feature (a) fundamentally clashes with the way libphy works
and (b) is unable to deal with quirky PHYs that require special treatment.
In this series, pxa168_eth driver is rewritten to completely disable that
feature and properly deal with libphy provided PHYs. The other two drivers
are suspect to future patch sets, also removing the code related with it.
Currently, the patches are based on next-20141009 and will be resent once
v3.18-rc1 drops. This is a Request-For-Test on both BG2Q and MMP/gplug as
I tested the series on a BG2Q, it worked well.
Antoine,
Thanks for testing! I assume you have added a phy-connection-type
property to BG2Q's ethernet node?
I doubt there will be any Tested-by from MMP guys anytime soon, so
I'll resend this with the minor remarks to be merged for 3.19.
Sebastian
