[U-Boot] mii_phy.h

[Michal Simek]

Hi,

Can someone clear me purpose of mii_phy.h? It looks like that it is really
ancient file which hasn't been touched from 2003.

It is use for two files
[monstr at monstr u-boot]$ grep -rn "mii_phy.h" *
board/ep8260/mii_phy.c:2:#include <mii_phy.h>
board/rpxsuper/mii_phy.c:2:#include <mii_phy.h>

+ different numbers of arguments against new "version"
[monstr at monstr u-boot]$ grep -rn "mii_discover_phy" *
arch/m68k/include/asm/fec.h:359:int mii_discover_phy(struct eth_device *dev);
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/fec.c:63:static int mii_discover_phy(struct eth_device *dev);
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/fec.c:728:              efis->actual_phy_addr = mii_discover_phy (dev);
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/fec.c:872:static int mii_discover_phy(struct eth_device *dev)
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc85xx/ether_fcc.c:237:    mii_discover_phy();
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/ether_fcc.c:234:    mii_discover_phy();
board/ep8260/mii_phy.c:10:mii_discover_phy(void)
board/rpxsuper/mii_phy.c:10:mii_discover_phy(void)
drivers/net/mcfmii.c:150:int mii_discover_phy(struct eth_device *dev)
drivers/net/mcfmii.c:253:       info->phy_addr = mii_discover_phy(dev);
include/mii_phy.h:4:void mii_discover_phy(void);

+ that functions without arg are not called either
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc85xx/ether_fcc.c:237:    mii_discover_phy();
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/ether_fcc.c:234:    mii_discover_phy();

I found that Frank Panno is ep8260 maintainer. Any comment?

The best will be to remove mii_phy entirely.
Wolfgang: What do you think?

Thanks,
Michal
