Re: [PATCH v2 4/5] net: hpe: Add GXP UMAC Driver

[Hawkins, Nick]

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your feedback, I have several follow up questions:

I doubled checked the internal PHY is considered a PHY, but I believe
I can represent it as a PCS. To confirm: I believe you are suggesting that
we create a driver here for the handling of the internal PHY but not the
external PHY?

If so would it be leveraging the MDIO driver already created in this
patchset? Or perhaps would it be replacing it for the internal PHY?


Thanks for the assistance,
