Quick question to you all... I walked through Pete's 8260 ATM driver, and I saw (as far as I can understand) that Pete's driver is set to support single PHY mode.
So, the question here is: do we need Rodolfo Giometti's patch to be applied to mpc8260 ATM driver? It is obvious that different set-up should be applied for mpc8260 ATM driver MPHY mode anyway... Thank you for answers in advance.
