In my configuration FIXED_PHY is selected by several other modules:
  =E2=94=82 Selected by [y]:
  =E2=94=82   - FSL_DPAA_ETH [=3Dy] && NETDEVICES [=3Dy] && ETHERNET [=3Dy]=
 &&
NET_VENDOR_FREESCALE [=3Dy] && FSL_DPAA [=3Dy] && FSL_FMAN [=3Dy]
  =E2=94=82   - FWNODE_MDIO [=3Dy] && NETDEVICES [=3Dy] && MDIO_DEVICE [=3D=
y] &&
(ACPI [=3Dy] || OF [=3Dy] || COMPILE_TEST [=3Dn])
  =E2=94=82   - OF_MDIO [=3Dy] && NETDEVICES [=3Dy] && MDIO_DEVICE [=3Dy] &=
& OF [=3Dy]
&& PHYLIB [=3Dy]

..so it looks pretty tied up with the MDIO support which I guess I
will need for the real PHY!

If I sorted out building the dsa_loop_bdinfo.c code as a built-in do
you think that would solve the ordering issue?
