I've now set aside hardware to build on and have been reading up on CVS.  
More than one file is involved because 'mii_phy_activate' is defined 
outside of acphy.c so the build stops there.  I can see how to roll back 
the one file (acphy.c) but not how to identify the others that were part 
of the same commit.  How do I spot which file(s) to try from that commit?
