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:

       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...

WBR, Sergei
