[PATCH net-next 04/15] net: mdio: add generic driver for NXP SJA1110 100BASE-TX embedded PHYs
Posted by Vladimir Oltean 1 week, 6 days ago 
This is the standalone variant of drivers/net/dsa/sja1105/sja1105_mdio.c.
Same kind of differences between this driver and the embedded DSA one
apply: regmap is being used for register access, and addresses are
multiplied by 4 with regmap.

In fact this is so generic that there is nothing NXP SJA1110 specific
about it at all, and just instantiates mdio-regmap. I decided to name it
mdio-regmap-simple.c in the style of drivers/mfd/simple-mfd-i2c.c which
has support for various vendor compatible strings.

Thans for fixing these mistakes

It would probably make sense to add "select MDIO_REGMAP" here

Just to clarify, a small comment to say that it's OK of
platform_get_resource() returns NULL maybe ?

Good forethought. I can already imagine tens of patches to 'fix' this if
merged like that..

Thanks for the review!
