Revision 68c90166e4aaa15ddcdd4778ad30bfb8b32534be authored by Mark Brown on 19 February 2007, 20:15:39 UTC, committed by Jeff Garzik on 20 February 2007, 16:18:13 UTC
This patch provides code paths which allow the natsemi driver to use the
external MII port on the chip but ignore any PHYs that may be attached to it.
The link state will be left as it was when the driver started and can be
configured via ethtool.  Any PHYs that are present can be accessed via the MII
ioctl()s.

This is useful for systems where the device is connected without a PHY
or where either information or actions outside the scope of the driver
are required in order to use the PHYs.
