Both of these look OK, but can you please split this out into a seperate
patch which just does PHY configuration and then adds AMD79C874 support?

Sounds fine, but can you split this portion of the code from the rest of
the patch please?  Thanks.

This was removed, intentionally back on March 22nd, 2002.  From what I
recall, it was decided this code was broken / unmaintained and should be
yanked.  Have you tested this particular section of code to verify it
still compiles and works as expected?

In sum: On hold for now.
