SubjectRe: [PATCH] DSA support for Micrel KSZ8895
Hi!

Thanks for review.

I may be confused here, but AFAICT:

1) Yes, it has standard layout when accessed over MDIO. But then
there's no access to the bridging functionality, and MDIO access may
not be available. [I was told not to use it for this design, so I did
not].

2) drivers/net/phy/spi_ks8995.c can be trivially modified to work with
this chip.. but then you don't get the bridge functionality. (And I'm
not sure how it works / who translates layouts in this case.)

I'd like to get rid of this code, or use some existing code instead,
but I don't think it is possible while keeping the SPI accesss. Let me
know if I'm wrong.

Best regards,
Pavel
