Hi Jiri,

>From the top of my head, I'm not sure 3.12 has the necessary phy code for
supporting the new device IDs; We might find ourselves with dysfunctional
devices.

I'll have to verify it with our link-team, but it would probably take a couple

BTW, why are we pushing for this to be backported to a stable kernel?
Given that it's not really a bug fix.

Thanks,
Yuval
