Hmmm, I'll poke the bears :)

Any chance this series will be rebased and sent out again? I
really liked the direction of this and it seems a waste to end it at a
stalemate here despite some differing opinions on the design and
possible future changes.

I think we're all in agreement that stmmac's current PCS usage behind
phylink's back is not good, and this is a massive improvement.

Thanks,
