[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] patch for Intel igb driver to support broadcom phys

[David Yang]

Howdy,

We are bare metal network switch developers who contribute codes
for OCP ONIE (https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie).

Up to now, many switches have Intel CPU module with Ethernet 
controller (i354) which connects to external Broadcom PHY (bcm54616s).
We revised linux igb driver for making the PHY work.

The patch is for linux-4.1.12.  Please help to review the 
patch for upstream to the igb driver.

Many thanks.
David

Well, first off, this was suggested by guys at Cumulus Networks back in
April of 2015. ?In short, we would support the idea of using the PHYLib
approach. ?I believe i210 and i211 currently uses the PHYLib approach,
so it probably would not take much to extend that approach to the other
devices.
