The IXP4xx actually has a peculiar structure. Both the MDIO and ethernet goes out through the NPE (network processing engine) and MDIO in particular is just talking to some mailbox on the NPE. The ethernet has dedicated registers but appear as dependent on the NPE. Only NPE B (second) has MDIO. I guess I should try to make the MDIO a child of the NPE. I try to improve the legacy code little by little. Yours, Linus Walleij
