This is a Request-For-Test on both BG2Q and MMP/gplug as I tested the series on a BG2Q, it worked well. Antoine > these are the current users of pxa168_eth.

My guess is that, if it is using internal PHY, it is "mii", too. -- Antoine T?nart, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
