Precisely, we need to fix the lan78xx case with micrel phy (and other possible phy modules) too, due to the commented issue generating initramfs in order to include the phy module. > What to me make more sense it to look at all the existing 'pre' > drivers and determine if they can be converted to use this macro. Of course, now that we have the possibility we can do this with other cases that have been already detected (and fixed with a softdep pre) and others still not detected (if anyone apart from lan78xx).
