Hi Sascha!
I have just took a look on Lukas'
'net: phy: fixed-link: read link parameters from devicetree' patch.
I see two problems with current 'of_phy_register_fixed_link()' implementation
unrelated to Lukas' changes.
Please see current of_phy_register_fixed_link() implementation:
static struct phy_device *of_phy_register_fixed_link(struct device_node *np,
struct eth_device *edev)
{
struct phy_device *phydev;
phydev = phy_device_create(NULL, 0, 0);
phydev->dev.parent = &edev->dev;
phydev->registered = 1;
phydev->speed = 1000;
phydev->duplex = 1;
phydev->pause = phydev->asym_pause = 0;
phydev->link = 1;
return phydev;
}
1. (a trivial think) the line
phydev->link = 1;
is redundant because phy_device_create() has already set it.
2. (not so trivial think) the line
phydev->registered = 1;
Why we want to set phydev->registered here? Can we use phy_register_device() instead?
Any sugesstions?
