Linux/AM3352: Backporting DP83867 driver to kernel v3.14

Hi,

There is no user guide for porting kernel driver from TI. I advise you to check the community guides, i.e.:www.tldp.org/.../x121.html.

In general you should add the following lines to drivers/net/phy/Kconfig:
+ config DP83867_PHY
+ tristate "Texas Instruments DP83867 Gigabit PHY"
+ ---help---
+ Currently supports the DP83867 PHY.

Modify the drivers/net/phy/Makefile, as described in www.tldp.org/.../x121.html. In other words add the bellow line in the makefile:
+ obj-$(CONFIG_DP83867_PHY)       += dp83867.o

Add the driver to the defconfig file (arch/arm/configs/tisdk_am335x-evm_defconfig):
+CONFIG_DP83867_PHY=y

And rebuild your kernel.

The dp83867.c driver is integrated in the latest TI Processor SDK linux. You can refer to it.

Best Regards,
Yordan
