So, do you propose me to replace direct calls of of_phy_connect()/phy_connect() in CPSW driver with buddies of the same functions? Right? cpsw_slave_open() { .... if (slave->data->phy_node) { phy = of_phy_connect(priv->ndev, slave->data->phy_node, &cpsw_adjust_link, 0, slave->data->phy_if); ----- replace ^^^^ with below { struct phy_device *phy = of_phy_find_device(phy_np); int ret; if (!phy) return NULL; phy->dev_flags = flags; ----- [set flag in phydrv->mdiodrv.flags] ret = phy_connect_direct(dev, phy, hndlr, iface); /* refcount is held by phy_connect_direct() on success */ put_device(&phy->mdio.dev); return ret ? NULL : phy; } ----- if (!phy) { dev_err(priv->dev, "phy \"%pOF\" not found on slave %d\n", slave->data->phy_node, slave->slave_num); return; } } else { phy = phy_connect(priv->ndev, slave->data->phy_id, &cpsw_adjust_link, slave->data->phy_if); ----- replace ^^^^ with below { struct phy_device *phydev; struct device *d; int rc; /* Search the list of PHY devices on the mdio bus for the * PHY with the requested name */ d = bus_find_device_by_name(&mdio_bus_type, NULL, bus_id); if (!d) { pr_err("PHY %s not found\n", bus_id); return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV); } phydev = to_phy_device(d); ----- [set flag in phydrv->mdiodrv.flags] rc = phy_connect_direct(dev, phydev, handler, interface); put_device(d); if (rc) return ERR_PTR(rc); return phydev; } ----- if (IS_ERR(phy)) { dev_err(priv->dev, "phy \"%s\" not found on slave %d, err %ld\n", slave->data->phy_id, slave->slave_num, PTR_ERR(phy)); return; } } } and all above just to set a flag which will be used by just one driver as of now. Hm. Is this some sort of punishment ;) Sry. I'll probably will take a pause. -- regards, -grygorii -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
