RE: [PATCH net-next v3 0/6] provide generic net selftest support

[Joakim Zhang]

Hi Oleksij,

I look both stmmac selftest code and this patch set. For stmmac, if PHY doesn't support loopback, it will fallthrough to MAC loopback.
You provide this generic net selftest support based on PHY loopback, I have a question, is it possible to extend it also support MAC loopback later?

Best Regards,
Joakim Zhang
