Russell, the phylink has a similiar place where PORT_MII is set. I
don't
know if we'd have to change that, too.
What would we change it to?
It was just a question whether we have to change it and I take from your
answer we do not. I was just curious because there is the same edge case
for the PORT_BNC like in the phy core.
If there's no PHY attached and no SFP, what kind of interface do we
have? As we've no idea what's on the media side, assuming that we are
presenting a MII-like interface to stuff outside of what we control is
entirely reasonable.
Claiming the world is TP would be entirely wrong, there may not be a
RJ45 jack. Consider the case where the MAC is connected to a switch.
It's a MII-like link. It's certianly not TP, BNC, fiber, AUI, or
direct attach.
Yes, I get your point.
