I think solution 2 is nicer, in that case, would it be enough in your case to export a function called mdiobus_scan()? You could call at a time you know PHY devices have a chance of having been probed? -- Florian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
