Oops, I spoke too soon on picking this up.  The patch looks mostly
good, but it does not apply to the head of the tree.  Can you please
rebase it on top of Linus' current tree and repost?  While you're at
it, I've got a couple of minor comments below that should be
addressed:

Drop the device_type property

>  +                       compatible = "mpc5200-fec-phy";
should be "mpc5200-mdio"  (see current lite5200 for the example)

Cheers,
