    natsemi: Add support for using MII port with no PHY · 68c90166
    Mark Brown authored
    This patch provides code paths which allow the natsemi driver to use the
    external MII port on the chip but ignore any PHYs that may be attached to it.
    The link state will be left as it was when the driver started and can be
    configured via ethtool.  Any PHYs that are present can be accessed via the MII
    ioctl()s.
    
    This is useful for systems where the device is connected without a PHY
    or where either information or actions outside the scope of the driver
    are required in order to use the PHYs.
