I see. And there was a comment a while back... I believe it was
Alexandre suggested there was some of consideration in the design to
support the non-OF-based cases. I hope I'm getting a better idea of the
big picture... one piece at a time.

Yes, you suggested this early on. Thank you for guiding me down the
right path.

Safe travels!

I was really surprised about the two MDIO buses as well. My coworker
pointed this out to me right before I decided to start looking into the
external phys and probably saved me a week of datasheet shuffling / scope
probing. Especially since the MDIO bus 2 addresses are pin-strapped to
start at 4, seemingly to not overlap the internal MDIO addresses 0-3.

And the two MDIO buses also exist in
arch/mips/boot/dts/mscc/ocelot.dtsi, so I know I'm not crazy.

I'll update the node names in my tree per your suggestion. I figured
there'd be no desire for me sharing a .dtsi for my boot-pin-modified dev
board configuration. Maybe I'm wrong, and sharing the relevant portions
in cover letters is not the right thing to do.

Thanks for explaining this. Understood.

Interesting concept. Makes sense though. Thanks again for explaining!
