On TI's Keystone platforms, several peripherals such as the
gbe ethernet switch, 10gbe ethernet switch and PCIe controller
require the use of a SerDes for converting SoC parallel data into
serialized data that can be output over a high-speed electrical
interface, and also converting high-speed serial input data
into parallel data that can be processed by the SoC. The
SerDeses used by those peripherals, though they may be different,
are largely similar in functionality and setup.

This patch provides a SerDes phy driver implementation that can be
used by the above mentioned peripheral drivers to configure their
respective SerDeses.

The current code does not do this when compiled, which might be a
problem for distributors. Can you clarify the license?

Arnd,

Can you elaborate on this? I did a grep on the string "Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright" and I could find several instance of this. So I am not sure what you mean by "The current code does not do this when compiled".

Thanks
