Hi Paul
Generally, you don't list any specific PHY. All distribution kernels
simply enable all PHYs as kernel

That is
From: Andrew Lunn
Convert this driver to use the mdio bus and phylib infrastructure. It
will then use the common AT803X PHY driver, rather than use its own
code. Have the shared code also handle the GPIO used to reset the PHY.
Over all, these changes should make it easier to use other PHYs with
