Internal FastEthernet PHY on BG2Q is connected via MII, add a
corresponding phy-connection-type property.

You're adding this prop to the PHY node? That's very weird...
normally, it's a property of a MDIO bus node.

Sergei,

How can this be a property of the MDIO bus node? Just think of an MDIO
bus with two PHYs where one is connected via GMII and the other via
RGMII? How should this work?

Hm, this is an unexpected case...

But you are right that the property should not be part of the PHY node
but the controller node instead. I'll rework and send an update, thanks
for the hint.

Oh, not at all. :-)

Sebastian

WBR, Sergei
