    Why? What kind of a register this is? <uapi/linux/mii.h> tells me it's
MII_SREVISION...

I think this rather means clause 22 as opposed to clause 45.

No, the corresponding hip04_mdio_write()'s parameter is a register #, so this is a write of 0 to register #22. A comment certainly wouldn't hurt here...

+               temp = hip04_mdio_read(bus, i, MII_BMCR);

    You're not checking for error...

+               temp |= BMCR_RESET;
+               err = hip04_mdio_write(bus, i, MII_BMCR, temp);

    Hmm, why you're open coding BMCR reset? There's phy_init_hw() doing this
correctly...

Except that this runs way before we have created the PHY driver, so we
can't use that function just yet.

   Ah, you're right.

I already asked about this, and he
explained that this was because the PHY devices he uses are not
responding correcty to MII_PHYSID1/2 reads.

So, this manual reset loop helps with reading the ID registers? A comment wouldn't hurt either...

+               if (err < 0)
+                       return err;

   I'm not at all sure we want to leave the reset loop on a first write error.

+       }
+
+       mdelay(500);

I'm not sure this is enough, given that in phy_init_hw() we poll for 600 ms + 1 ms.

+       return 0;

+static int hip04_mdio_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)

+       struct resource *r;
+       struct mii_bus *bus;
+       struct hip04_mdio_priv *priv;
+       int ret;
+
+       bus = mdiobus_alloc_size(sizeof(struct hip04_mdio_priv));
+       if (!bus) {
+               dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Cannot allocate MDIO bus\n");
+               return -ENOMEM;
+       }
+
+       bus->name = "hip04_mdio_bus";
+       bus->read = hip04_mdio_read;
+       bus->write = hip04_mdio_write;
+       bus->reset = hip04_mdio_reset;

    Ah... However I don't think it a good implementation of that bus
method...

I assumed this method exists to do a hardware reset of the whole bus, not to do a loop of soft-resetting all PHYs...

WBR, Sergei
