-Subject: [PATCH 081/203] net: phy: call mdiobus_scan() after adding a fixed
- PHY
-
-The fixed_phy_add() function allows to register a fixed PHY. However,
-when this function gets called *after* fixed_mdio_bus_init() (which
-gets called at the module_init stage), then the fixed PHY is not
-registered into the phylib.
-
-In order to address this, we add a call to mdiobus_scan() in
-fixed_phy_add() to ensure that the PHY indeed gets registered into the
-phylib, even if the fixed_phy_add() is called after
-fixed_mdio_bus_init().
-
-This is needed because until now, the only code that was calling the
-fixed_add_phy() function was PowerPC-specific platform code, which
-could ensure that such fixed PHYs get registered before
-fixed_mdio_bus_init() is called.
-
-However, with the new of_phy_register_fixed_link() function, device
-drivers can parse their 'fixed-link' property and register a fixed PHY
-at ->probe() time, which may happen after fixed_mdio_bus_init() is
-called.
