I had to pick from two options -- apply a patch which solves a real problem now 
and which follows approach already implemented for a different board in 
mainline 
-- or wait until an RFC patch is done discussing and makes it into mainline.

I decided to solve a real problem now and in case a proper fix/cleanup arrives
afterward, I will only be happy about that.

Sorry, I missed the new version. I'll comment on it separatelly.

In fact, the Micrel PHY patch changes only the Micrel driver. This patch
changes only the SoCFPGA CV board. They are two completely orthogonal
patches.

The Micrel PHY patch can just be followed by a cleanup patch which removes
the explicitly PHY setup function from both the MX6 Nitrogen 6x and SoCFPGA
boards. I don't see any problem with such cleanup, do you ?

The purpose of that mail was to show that there's better way, so that
someone (you) would not apply bandaid when something close to real fix
is available.

I overlooked the "breaks compilation" part, but I'm sure it could have
been solved with strategicaly placed #ifdef. Notice original patch

Hi!

The patch you provided (if we're referring to the same patch, Message-ID: 
<20141113120956.GB30779@amd>) breaks every board which uses the Micrel PHY, 
doesn't it ? The problem for all other boards would be the new CONFIG_* options
which are added into the Micrel driver by that patch. Furthermore, the patch 
doesn't even apply, it was decided that the patch was an RFC, wasn't it ?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The way forward here would be for you to prepare a patch for the Micrel PHY
driver, submit that one (make sure to CC Joe, the network custodian) and
in the next step clean up the writes into PHY configuration from both the
SoCFPGA CV and from Nitrogen 6x support (I recall I saw the same thing done
for that board).

Oh, and btw., the new CONFIG_* options should be documented somewhere, so
please keep that in mind. Otherwise, the amount of various CONFIG_* options
become an unmanagable mess.

Thanks!

Marek Vasut

Hmm, could you apply the patch I posted, instead? It has configuration
in socfpga_config.h -- "platform data".

This is board specific, but with the driver model, this should be moved into 
the 
PHY driver and the values should be passed via platform data or DT.

I will apply this now, since it fixes real issue.

Is it to need similar settings for all ksz9021 phys? Should this go to
drivers/ as I suggested with a patch?
