SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/3] [NET] phy/fixed.c: rework to not duplicate PHY layer functionality
Hi Vitaly,

> With that patch fixed.c now fully emulates MDIO bus, thus no need

> There is also no more need to pre-allocate PHYs via .config option,
> this is all now handled dynamically.

If i understand your code correctly, you seem to rely on the fact
that fixed_phy_add() is called before the fixed MDIO bus is scanned for
devices. How is this supposed to work for modules or for the
PPC_CPM_NEW_BINDING mode where the device tree is no longer scanned
during fs_soc initialization but during device initialization?

I tried to add fixed-phy support to fs_enet, but the fixed phy is not
found this way.
