In any case, we *still* have two competing implementations for PCS support, and the authors have been asked to work together, but there's been no sign of that with both authors posting their patch sets within the last week. Plus, I had asked for the patches to be posted as RFC because I'm not going to have time to review them for a while (you may have noticed a lack of patches from myself - because I don't have time to post them as I'm working on stuff directed by my employer.) Sadly, being employed means there will be times that I don't have the bandwidth to look at mainline stuff. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
