This is an effort to migrate closer to the phylib approach so that a new DM approach can be developed from a single starting point. The more of this legacy code that can be removed, the easier it will be to move forward.

It was nice to see spatch put to work. However
davinci_emaccrashes U-Boot now. It is an invasive patch so it might take time to check everything is in order, so unless you already have a follow-up series I can send in a trivial patch just now to fix that fordavinci_emac.That's a bummer. Is it a systemic problem that you expect to affect more drivers or is it something that is likely to only affect davinci?
It is likely to only affect davinci, just a mix up of the internal MDIO accessors return code (not in the changes made by spatch proper).
It would be better in the future in the davinci code to just use the same convention as the mdiodev accessors but I chose a non-invasive quick to check follow-up patch.
Rgds,
Karl
