Hi Linus

You mention MDIO and PHYs, but the code is not there yet. When you do
add the needed code, it is a good idea to place the PHY nodes inside a
container node:

    ethernet@c8009000 {
        compatible = "intel,ixp4xx-ethernet";
        reg = <0xc8009000 0x1000>;
        status = "disabled";
        queue-rx = <&qmgr 3>;
        queue-txready = <&qmgr 20>;

        mdio {
		phy0: phy@0 {
		      reg = <0>;
		};
	};
    };

    Andrew

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...
