* phylib: fix phy name example in documentationPaulius Zaleckas2008-11-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | All MDIO bus drivers currently name bus with "%x" format. There is one exception where mv643xx_eth driver is using "%d". Phy address on the bus uses format "%02x". Fixing phy name example to match all real life MDIO drivers. Signed-off-by: Paulius Zaleckas <paulius.zaleckas@teltonika.lt> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* phylib: Add support for board-level PHY fixupsAndy Fleming2008-04-251-1/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes the specific interaction between the platform and the PHY requires special handling. For instance, to change where the PHY's clock input is, or to add a delay to account for latency issues in the data path. We add a mechanism for registering a callback with the PHY Lib to be called on matching PHYs when they are brought up, or reset.

* [PATCH] PHY: Add support for configuring the PHY connection interfaceAndy Fleming2006-12-021-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most PHYs connect to an ethernet controller over a GMII or MII interface. However, a growing number are connected over different interfaces, such as RGMII or SGMII. The ethernet driver will tell the PHY what type of connection it is by setting it manually, or passing it in through phy_connect (or phy_attach). Changes include: * Updates to documentation * Updates to PHY Lib consumers * Changes to PHY Lib to add interface support * Some minor changes to whitespace in phy.h * gianfar driver now detects interface and passes appropriate value to PHY Lib Signed-off-by: Andrew Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
