Martin, I see that you disabled CONFIG_MARVELL_PHY in
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/kernel?view=revision&revision=14178
four years ago.
Is that still relevant at all? If so, what options do we have here?
Could the users of affected devices blacklist the module on their
machines? Could the kernel driver be fixed upstream to not be active on
devices that will be broken?
Thanks.
