I use a 'struct device_ethernet_data' in my MPC85xx platform-device patches at http://www.evillabs.net/~gus/patches That seems to work well, and we could move it from include/asm-ppc/device-ethernet.h to include/linux/device-ethernet.h to make it more arch-independant. That covers MAC addrs and phy locations. As for PHY IRQ, that's a thornier issue. For now, I put that in the ethernet device's resource list. -- Jason McMullan <jason.mcmullan at timesys.com>
