In message: Re: [PATCH 0/5] dynamic detection of gianfar TPIPA

I tested on several "normal" boards and on a board with the PHY @ 0x1f,
and it did what I expected it to do.  It was when I was testing on the
normal boards (8540MDS, 8360MDS, HPCN) that I observed we were showing
a PHY ID of 0x0 at 0x1f during the routine PHY scan, because the
autodetect code was skipping 0x1f even on those boards.  I backed out
all my patches and the situation was the same, hence why I decided to

Okay -- that explanation helps me understand the role of the *_local_*
variants -- it wasn't obvious to me that they were being used to jump
the device --> bus association and go right at MDIO bus of tsec0.  I
think this can still be handled sanely though -- we'd have to simply
say that if you wanted the bus of the TBI of the controller, you would
go at dev->priv->mii_bus, and if you wanted the bus of the PHY of the
controller, you'd go at dev->priv->phydev->bus.  I'd have to think a bit
to see if that would afford the same or similar cleanups, but the

Yep.  Is there any boards out there with more than 4 tsec?  I'd have

I'll go have a look.  I've only got the SBC8641D with the PHY @ 0x1f to
be the oddball guniea pig.
