It was agreed that phy-connection-type was a better name for
the interface-type property, so this patch renames it.
Also, the max-speed property name was determined too generic,

applied to #upstream
just to be clear; only the mpc8323e-mds board works on your
current #upstream-{fixes,linus}.
The mpc8323e-rdb and mpc8360e-mds require
phylib: add the ICPlus IP175C PHY driver
and phylib: enable RGMII-ID on the Marvell m88e1111 PHY
respectively in order to work.
I'm ok with the SGMII patches:
phylib: m88e1111: enable SGMII mode
gianfar: add support for SGMII
staying on #upstream, but 2 out of 3 boards are currently broken
for #upstream-{fixes,linus}.
New hardware support is always "broken" until merged. Nonetheless
it is still new and outside the merge window.
I think new is a little relative here. The MPC8232-RDB & MPC8360E-
MDS boards worked with 2.6.21 and the UCC. They had support for the
PHYs that Kim's listed built directly into the ucc driver and not as
part of the phy lib. Since we've moved to using the phy lib in
2.6.22 we've broken these boards since their PHY drivers aren't
currently in linus's tree.
Kim, correct me if I'm wrong.
thanks for clarifying that - it is indeed the case.
Jeff, any comments?
While I can see the view that the ICPlus & m88e1111 in RGMII may be
"new" Kim did post these patches before the release of 2.6.21.

And I believe its our normal stance to not introduce regressions
between kernel versions when possible. It would be appreciated if
you could push the two patches Kim has referenced to linus for 2.6.22
otherwise we've created a regression in supporting the MPC8323 RDB &
MPC8360 MDS boards.
thanks
