All the documents I've seen are from UEFII/ACPICA and I have not seen any independent description of MDIO in the ACPI documents. Maybe I missed a document, too. I think not all devices need to be described in ACPI. The ACPI defines what should be included in a device, as well as some special definitions. Our MDIO doesn't need a special definition, because it's enough to use a generic ACPI description. I think that's why MDIO doesn't have a separate description. Cheers, Dongsheng
