The patch titled
natsemi: Add support for using MII port with no PHY
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
natsemi-add-support-for-using-mii-port-with-no-phy.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: natsemi: Add support for using MII port with no PHY
From: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Provide a module option which configures the natsemi driver to use the
external MII port on the chip but ignore any PHYs that may be attached to it.
The link state will be left as it was when the driver started and can be
configured via ethtool. Any PHYs that are present can be accessed via the MII
ioctl()s.
This is useful for systems where the device is connected without a PHY or
where either information or actions outside the scope of the driver are
required in order to use the PHYs.
Jeff sez:
NAK.
The proper way to do this is via the force_media boolean flag found in
several net drivers.
In general I agree with the motivation to do something like this...
