> This patch series deals with a removing a IP feature that can be found
> on all currently supported Marvell Ethernet IP (pxa168_eth, mv643xx_eth,
> mvneta). The MAC IP allows to automatically perform PHY auto-negotiation
> without software interaction.
> 
> However, this feature (a) fundamentally clashes with the way libphy works
> and (b) is unable to deal with quirky PHYs that require special treatment.
> In this series, pxa168_eth driver is rewritten to completely disable that
> feature and properly deal with libphy provided PHYs.
