This IP does not have a PHY identifier or status register that can be accessed
from the phy framework. We could discuss with our design team to add these
in the future. But that would take sometime and this version should be still be
supported. Also, if this IP has a PHY driver, then two phy drivers would have
to be probed which are connected in a serial manner and I believe I'll have to
update the framework to support that. Could you please let me know if you have
any inputs on this?
OR since this is just a bridge IP, is it acceptable to address the error cases?
-> Module loading/unloading
-> Spinlocks for protection
-> Correct phy mode information to the driver.
-> Any other concerns
I could do a respin of this patch after addressing Andrew's comments:

Harini
