f896424cbc [PATCH] phy address mask support for generic phy layer
Adds a phy_mask field to struct mii_bus and uses it.  This field
indicates each phy address to be ignored when probing the mdio bus.

This support is needed for the fs_enet and ibm_emac drivers to be
converted to the generic phy layer among other drivers. Many systems
lock up on probing certain phy addresses or probing doesn't return
0xffff when nothing is found at the address. A new driver I'm
working on also makes use of this mask.

e13934563d [PATCH] PHY Layer fixup
This patch adds back the code that was taken out, thus re-enabling:

* The PHY Layer to initialize without crashing
* Drivers to actually connect to PHYs
* The entire PHY Control Layer

This patch is used by the gianfar driver, and other drivers which are in
development.

00db8189d9 This patch adds a PHY Abstraction Layer to the Linux Kernel, enabling
ethernet drivers to remain as ignorant as is reasonable of the connected
PHY's design and operation details.
