> Changes from v2:
>   - Split the MDIO controller to a separate driver and make use of standards
>     device tree bindings
>   - Fixed various minor things as suggested by Florian Fainelli
>   - Added clock support now that we have a clock driver
>
> Changes from v1:
>   - Use phylib for the phy-related functions
>   - Use an optional regulator to power up the phy
>   - Rename the driver from Davicom Wemac to Allwinner EMAC, since it's the name
>     mentionned in the datasheet, and we have no strong evidence of a
>     relationship with Davicom
>   - Fix various small things around the driver: add defines for undocumented
>     values, fix documentation name and compatible example, etc.

I tested it successfully on cubieboard 1GB, on top of kernel 3.10-rc3,
nfsroot (debian wheezy)
I also added in sun4i-a10-cubieboard.dts
phy0: ethernet-phy at 0 {
 reg = <1>;
},
like Emilio suggested.

running an iperf, there's some good perfs !
iperf -s

[  4]  0.0-10.0 sec   112 MBytes  94.1 Mbits/sec

That's great ! with this patchset, we can now run a server with a
vanilla kernel ( who needs more that a serial port and ethernet,
really ? ;) )
