That's fine, because you also have the patches further down in net-queue. So, what you list above are basically not all the patches. net: mvpp2: fill in phy interface mode bitmap net: mvneta: fill in phy interface mode bitmap net: phylink: use phy interface mode bitmaps net: sfp: add interface bitmap net: phy: add supported_interfaces to marvell10g PHYs net: phy: add supported_interfaces to marvell PHYs net: phy: add supported_interfaces to bcm84881 net: phy: add supported_interfaces to phylib Now, I think there's going to be a problem - if you look at the phylink code for this, we assume that the supported_interfaces we get from phylib is what the PHY will be doing. However, if we then go and change the interface mode, what then... I guess if we rework it along the lines that I've mentioned - phylib is passed the MAC supported interfaces, and phylib/phy drivers choose which interface to use, then I guess we no longer need to specify to phylib what interface mode should be used (what do we then do with the DT phy-mode property?) and we don't need some of the logic in "net: phylink: use phy interface mode bitmaps". Please note that it's been a number of months since I last looked at this, so I may be rusty - it's also rediculously sweltering hot over here in the UK right now, so I may not be thinking straight... (which is probably why I forgot to reply to your above point.) -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
