Making it part of the switch driver would make sense. Are there any backwards compatibility issues? I don't actually see any boards in mailine using the compatible strings. Another option would be to write an independent mdio driver, and make firmware download part of that. That gives the advantage of supporting PHYs which are not part of the switch. Andrew
