Actually I think the MDIO needs to go into the NPE (network processing engine) node, that is where it actually is implemented. It coincides with having to rewrite the code in Linux to split that off into its own device as you pointed out on patch 1, hm a bit of work ahead here... Yours, Linus Walleij
