If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From bb1a619735b4660f21bce3e728b937640024b4ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yendapally Reddy Dhananjaya Reddy <yendapally.reddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2017 17:14:26 -0500 Subject: net: phy: Initialize mdio clock at probe function From: Yendapally Reddy Dhananjaya Reddy <yendapally.reddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit bb1a619735b4660f21bce3e728b937640024b4ad upstream. USB PHYs need the MDIO clock divisor enabled earlier to work. Initialize mdio clock divisor in probe function. The ext bus bit available in the same register will be used by mdio mux to enable external mdio.
