I'd like to have the PHY library included in the 02.2009 release.  One 
of the things I'm struggling with is how so specify MDIO busses and PHY 
addresses.  For example, is it preferable to have a bunch of 
CONFIG_PHY_ADDR_x or a board-code struct?  How to link/register PHYs 
with MDIO buses, since conceivably a board could have hardware MDIO 
and/or bit-banged MDIO, and any PHY could be on any bus. 

If we pulled all board info from a device tree, as people were talking 
about a few months ago, this would be easy and scalable.  I don't know 
the status of that idea, and am very interested in what you and others 
think.

regards,
Ben
