Re: [PATCH 3/3] net: microchip_t1s: conditional collision detection

[<Parthiban.Veerasooran@microchip.com>]

Hi,

This implementation was introduced in the below patch itself.

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230426205049.xlfqluzwcvlm6ihh@soft-dev3-1/T/#m9a52b6c03b7fa637f70aed306b50b442590e24a3

As it is recommended to do it in a separate patch and also the 
datasheets of LAN867X Rev.B1 and LAN865X Rev.B0 internal PHY have these 
register is reserved, we were working for a feasible solution to 
describe this for customer and mainline. By the time many other things 
messed up and couldn't reach the mainline on time.

We also implemented LAN867X Rev.C1 support already in the driver and 
published in our product site and in the process of preparing mainline 
patches. But unfortunately it took little more time to make it.

Anyway, thank you for the support. Good luck!

Best regards,
Parthiban V
