[PATCH v2.6.26 0/2] Dynamic TBIPA for gianfar

[Paul Gortmaker]

These patches allow boards with a PHY at the end of the bus to function,
by having the TBIPA set dynamically.  The 1st patch factors out some of
the PHY probe code so it can be recycled by the TBIPA probe, and the
second patch implements the dynamic probe itself.

Paul.

these should get an Ack by Andy before going in to any tree.

Andy has already done that, so I think we should be good to go.

Cool.  I'm guessing these will go via jeff's tree for 2.6.26?
