This driver's orginal goal is to address the case where we have a PHY-like device that has the same register layout and behaviour as a C22 PHY, but where the registers are not accesses through MDIO (MMIO for example, as in altera-tse or dwmac-socfpga, or potentially SPI even though there's no example upstream). What is done here is quite different, I guess it could work if we have MMIO C45 phys that understand the proposed encoding, but I don't really understand the dance where C45 accesses are wrapped by this mdio-regmap driver into regmap accesss, but the regmap itself converts it back to C45 accesses. Is it just so that it fits well with MFD ? I'm not really against that, it still converts mdio access to regmap so there's that, but is there a way to elaborate or document somewhere why we need to do go through C45 -> regmap -> C45 instead of just writing a mii_bus driver in the first place ? As I said, I think this could work and even be re-used in other places, so I'm ok with that, it's just not really clear from the commit log what problem this solves. Maxime
