+Subject: [PATCH] net: bgmac: improve handling PHY
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+1. Use info from DT if available
+
+It allows describing for example a fixed link. It's more accurate than
+just guessing there may be one (depending on a chipset).
+
+2. Verify PHY ID before trying to connect PHY
+
+PHY addr 0x1e (30) is special in Broadcom routers and means a switch
+connected as MDIO devices instead of a real PHY. Don't try connecting to
+it.
