> platforms wont work after Generic PHY framework gets merged.then you just found a limitation in your framework, right ? :-) I mean, imagine if now we have to add an IDR to every single user of your framework because they could end up in systems with multiple instances of the same IP ? Now consider that you aim to have your framework be used by Network, USB, SATA, Graphics, etc... Have you really only considered DT platforms ? DT is quite easy since you can require folks to pass the proper phandle, but drivers will want to use PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO and your framework needs to cope with that. -- balbi
