Hello, This patch is a proposal to support the register/unregister/register sequence on a given mdio bus.
I use the register/unregister/register sequence to add a fallback when the of_mdiobus_register (this function calls mdiobus_register with phy_mask set to ~0) does not register any phy device (because the device tree does not define any phy). In this case I call mdiobus_unregister and then call mdiobus_register with a phy_mask set to 0 to trigger a full mdio bus scan. I'm not sure this is the right way to do it (this is why I added RFC in the subject). Could someone help me figuring out what I should use to implement my fallback ? 1) use the register/unregister/register sequence 2) reimplement the "for (i = 0; i < PHY_MAX_ADDR; i++)" mdiobus_scan loop Thanks.
