Hi Andrew,

Yes, you are right: we decided to send only support for DPAA1 using current approach as a PHY device
(as mentioned in cover-letter), until PCS representation will be fully clarified.
The entire DPAA2 support was removed for now, together with phylink changes.
DPAA1 maintainer (Madalin Bucur) agrees with current representation as a PHY device for DPAA1.
So we would like to have some discussions around this approach for DPAA1 only, as it seems suitable for us.

Regards,
Florinel.
