> This series aims to add the xSMI support on the xMDIO bus to the
> mvmdio driver. The xSMI interface complies with the IEEE 802.3 clause 45
> and is used by 10GbE devices. On 7k and 8k (as of now), such an
> interface is found and is used by Ethernet controllers.
> 
> Patches 1-4 and 9 are cosmetic cleanups.
> 
> Patches 5-7 are prerequisites to the xSMI support.
> 
> Patches 8 and 10-11 add the xSMI support to the mvmdio driver, and a
> node is added both in the cp110 slave and master device trees.
> 
> This was tested on an Armada 8040 mcbin, as well as on both the
> Armada 7040 DB and the Armada 8040 DB to ensure the SMI interface
> was still working.

> @Dave: patch 11 should go through the mvebu tree as asked by Gregory,
> thanks!
