Either make it a PHY device attribute, or specify it in the address in the register accesses, but not both. Also your patch is full of coding style errors, I simply couldn't stomache applying this even if I agreed with the substance of the changes: > + i < ARRAY_SIZE(c45_ids->device_ids) && > + c45_ids->devices_in_package == 0; c45_ids on the second line should line up with the initial 'i' on the first line. > + c45_ids->devices_in_package = (phy_reg & 0xffff) << 16; > + > + > + reg_addr = MII_ADDR_C45 | i << 16 | 5; There is not reason in the world to have two empty lines there, it looks awful. > + /* > + * If mostly Fs, there is no device there, > + * let's get out of here. > + */ Format comments: /* Like * this. */ Not. /* * Like * this. */ > + c45_ids->device_ids[i] = (phy_reg & 0xffff) << 16; > + > + > + reg_addr = MII_ADDR_C45 | i << 16 | MII_PHYSID2; Two empty lines. This is extremely irritating, it looks like you had some kind of debugging code here and then were very lazy about removing it. > +/* > + * Or MII_ADDR_C45 into regnum for read/write on mii_bus to enable the > + * 21 bit IEEE 802.3ae clause 45 addressing mode used by 10GIGE phy > + * chips.
