From 56277f40d73f12d9ffb12b5a6bd7e0ad1f2284b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Bowler Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2012 06:20:34 +0000 Subject: phylib: mdio: Add sysfs attribute for PHY identifiers. This adds a phy_id sysfs attribute to MDIO devices, containing the 32-bit PHY identifier reported by the device. This attribute can be useful when debugging problems related to phy drivers. Other enumerable buses already have similar attributes. Signed-off-by: Nick Bowler Signed-off-by: David S.
