Several years back (circa 2.6.33) I had to hack up macb.c to work on an at91 board that didn't have a PHY connected to the macb controller. Now I might need to get a recent kernel version running on that board.
It looks like the macb driver still can't handle boards that don't have a PHY. Is that correct? What's the right way to deal with this? With the older macb driver, I ended up adding code to macb.c that presented a "fake" PHY that discarded MDIO writes and returned some hard-wired values for MDIO reads. That seemed like a pretty ugly way to deal with the situation, so I never bothered to submit a patch. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwa...@gmail.com
