The current fwnode_mdio.c don't provide the proper helper functions yet. Instead the parsing is spread between fwnode_mdiobus_register_phy() and fwnode_mdiobus_phy_device_register(). Of course these can be extracted and exported but I don't see the benefit. IMHO it just cause jumping around files and since fwnode is a proper firmware abstraction we could use is directly wihin core/lib files. > The bundling in this patch makes it harder to see the interesting part > of this patch, how the reset is handled. That is what this whole > patchset is about, so you want the review focus to be on that. I know and I thought about adding the firmware parsing helpers first but than I went this way. I can split this of course to make the patch smaller. Regards, Marco > > Andrew >
