From: Daniel Golle Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2025 05:38:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: realtek: disable MDIO broadcast RealTek's PHYs by default also listen on MDIO address 0 which is defined as broadcast address. This can lead to problems if there is an actual PHY (such as MT7981 built-in PHY) present at this address, as accessing that PHY may then confuse the RealTek PHY. Disabled listening on the MDIO broadcast address to avoid such problems.
