Re: [PATCH net-next] net: stmmac: Fix the case when PHY handle is not present

Hello Jose,

This patch works fine with my Tinker Board. Thanks a lot!

Tested-by: Katsuhiro Suzuki <katsuhiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>


BTW, from network guys point of view, is it better to add a phy node
into device trees that have no phy node such as the Tinker Board?


Best Regards,
Katsuhiro Suzuki

Some DT bindings do not have the PHY handle. Let's fallback to manually
discovery in case phylink_of_phy_connect() fails.
