Here's the previous discussion when this was added not too long ago:

Daniel is probably the one that "needs" to answer this, I think the
lan969x is added recently enough for this to not be particularly
disruptive.

I don't get arguments there. The policy is one ARCH per vendor, so why
exactly upstream would like to "having more granular control with
separate"? That's downstream or vendor wishlist, not upstream.


Best regards,

The out-of-tree defconfig impact is minimal for us. As Conor mentioned, lan969x
was added fairly recently, so the number of affected users should be small.

So can this be picked up directly into ARM-SoC please?

This should go rather via Microchip ARM64 tree.


Hey Microchip maintainers, can you please pick it up for v7.1?

Applied to microchip-soc, thanks!

Will push it later today (infrastructure issue ATM).

Thank you,
