Hi Yendapally
Since we are in the networking subsystem, when we see phy, we think
Ethernet PHY. But broadcom mdio mux is generic and can have any sort
of PHY or device connected to it. To avoid confusion and
missunderstanding, please could you try to prefix each 'PHY' in the
with an indication of what type it is, 'Ethernet PHY', 'USB phy',
'SERDES PHY', or 'generic PHY/mdio device'.
And i mean this in general, not just this patch.
Thanks
Andrew
