There are some exotic ax88772 based devices which may require
functionality provide by the phylink framework. For example:
- US100A20SFP, USB 2.0 auf LWL Converter with SFP Cage
- AX88772B USB to 100Base-TX Ethernet (with RMII) demo board, where it
is possible to switch between internal PHY and external RMII based
connection.
So, convert this driver to phylink as soon as possible.
