This basically allows arbitrary Ethernet MAC drivers to be used now in conjunction with Device Tree. The reason was that DSA was using a of_find_device_by_node() which limits the device_node to device pointer search exclusively to platform_device, in our case, we are interested in doing a "class" research and lookup the net_device. Thanks to Chris Packham for testing this on his platform. Changes in v2: - fix build for !CONFIG_OF_NET Florian Fainelli (2): net: core: add of_find_net_device_by_node() net: dsa: utilize of_find_net_device_by_node include/linux/of_net.h | 8 ++++++++ include/net/dsa.h | 1 + net/core/net-sysfs.c | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ net/dsa/dsa.c | 16 +++++++++++----- 4 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) -- 2.1.0
