Though described as required, the "phy-handle" property for the DaVinci EMAC binding is actually optional, as the driver will happily function without it, assuming 100/FULL link; the property is not specified either in the example device node, or in the actual EMAC device nodes for DA850 and AM3517 device trees. Signed-off-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- The patch is against DaveM's 'net-next.git' repo. Though being a fix, it does not seem important enough for 'net.git' repo at this time. Not sure if it should be considered for the stable kernels...
