The core provides functions like phy_read/phy_write. Andy has recently
introduced board level workaround/fixups. The problem is these
workarounds tend to use phy_read/phy_write and the board/platform code is
not built as modules.

The whole world isn't embedded ppc, we use this stuff elsewhere too.
You guys need to figure out something that doesn't require phylib
be built-in on ALL platforms, but only the platforms that require
it.
I wasn't suggesting we build it always, just not let it be built as
a module.

I don't care for this as it means making sure each platform/board port
gets it right.
