[PATCH v2] net: macb: do not scan PHYs manually

From: Nathan Sullivan
Date: Thu Apr 28 2016 - 10:47:28 EST


Since of_mdiobus_register and mdiobus_register will scan automatically,
do not manually scan for PHY devices in the macb ethernet driver. Doing
so will result in many nonexistent PHYs on the MDIO bus if the MDIO
lines are floating or grounded, such as when they are not used.
