Is it possible to turn this off in the hardware? It might be less
confusing if LOS it determined by phylink, not phylink and the switch
itself. Especially when we get into race conditions between PHYLINK
polling the GPIO and the hardware taking the short cut?

Yes, that is obvious from the code. But all DT properties must be in
the binding Documentation. The DT verifier is going to complain when
it finds a mac-address property which is not described in the yaml
file.

Yes, this is fine. Here, and in other places, a comment like:

/* More code to be added in later patches */

would of been nice, just as a heads up. That is the problem with
linear patch review.

Ah, O.K. Dumb question. Why is the SGPIO driver a separate driver? It
sounds like it should be embedded inside this driver if it is sharing
hardware.

Another option would be to look at the reset subsystem, and have this
driver export a reset controller, which the SGPIO driver can bind to.
Given that the GPIO driver has been merged, if this will work, it is
probably a better solution.
