That's not nice to have conflicting resources. The best solution would
be to register the phy independently of the network device and just use
the phy in the driver instead of registering it.
I see that with the current (generic network, mii) code this does not
work. Jean-Christophe currently works on phylib support which could
improve the situation somewhat. It may still not be possible to do what
you have to, but your patches will need adjustments to phylib anyway.

Could have have a look at it? I asked Jean-Christophe for sending the
phylib support again, and I think it can be merged then.

Thanks
 Sascha
