i have never done so for any target i think. which target does this ?
rtl8366xx is not a phy driver but uses smi which makes it loadable
independent of the netdevcie bring up.
not having ip175e in the kernel will lead to us having to ship
ralink_soc_eth as a ko aswell i think.
correct me if i am a wrong ...
