[U-Boot-Users] MPC8360 - UEC ethernet and MII support, feature add

[Russell McGuire]

Everyone,

I was attempting to ascertain why when using the /drivers/qe/uec Ethernet
driver, that MII support would fail.

After digging through the uec.c driver, it was simple to see that it does
not call miiphy_register().

So I guess my question is, since I have never 'submitted' patch/change to
the code before, is there an existing maintainer for this file/driver that
would like to add support for the miiphy_register. I wasn't able to
interpret from the MAINTAINERS file who owns this driver/file.

I think there might also need to be a wrapper read/write function written to
fully support this. 

I am working on a solution here, as I am using it to bring up my custom 8360
board. I suppose in a short time I will have a working model that I could
submit.

Anyone?

I'm not the official maintainer, but I can take care of this issue.  I'm not 
familiar enough with that particular code to comment on your observation, at 
least not today.
