No, this is not a buggy/unfinished patch series. I have added RFC as 
this is a new framework is being added in the kernel for supporting OPEN 
Alliance 10BASE-T1x MACPHY Serial Interface. So I want to get 
opinion/direction/comments from community members. Your valuable review 
comments are important to make this framework get added in the mainline.

To get more clarity on this activity, I have described my test setup and 
results here. My test setup has two 10BASE-T1S nodes (node 0 and node 
1). Node 0 is with LAN8650 MACPHY and node 1 is with EVB-LAN8670-USB.

---------------------------       ----------------------------
| LAN8650 MACPHY (node 0) |<----->| EVB-LAN8670-USB (node 1) |
---------------------------       ----------------------------

LAN8650 MACPHY has a MAC and 10BASE-T1S PHY embedded within a single 
chip. SPI interface for Host.

EVB-LAN8670-USB has a LAN9500A USB MAC and LAN8670 10BASE-T1S PHY. USB 
interface for Host.

Product links to refer:
LAN8650: https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/lan8650
EVB-LAN8670-USB: https://www.microchip.com/en-us/development-tool/EV08L38A

Node 0: Acts as PLCA coordinator node.
Node 1: Acts as PLCA drop node.

Note: These products can support CSMA/CD as well.

We have already mainlined EVB-LAN8670-USB drivers. Please refer the 
below links.

Driver for LAN8670 10BASE-T1S PHY in the EVB-LAN8670-USB:

Herewith I have attached the ping and iperf3 test results with this 
driver for your reference. There are two terminals representing node 0 
and node 1. Left terminal is LAN8650 MACPHY and the right one is 
EVB-LAN-8670-USB.

iperf3_tx_test.png: iperf3 tx test where node 0 sends data to node 1.
iperf3_rx_test.png: iperf3 rx test where node 1 sends data to node 0.
iperf3_bidirection_test.png: iperf3 bidirectional test where both nodes 
       are sending and receiving.

Hope this helps to get a clarity on this activity.
