PHY_ATTACH_DIRECT(9)                  Network device support                 PHY_ATTACH_DIRECT(9)



NAME
       phy_attach_direct - attach a network device to a given PHY device pointer

SYNOPSIS
       int phy_attach_direct(struct net_device * dev, struct phy_device * phydev, u32 flags,
                             phy_interface_t interface);

ARGUMENTS
       dev
           network device to attach

       phydev
           Pointer to phy_device to attach

       flags
           PHY device's dev_flags

       interface
           PHY device's interface

DESCRIPTION
       Called by drivers to attach to a particular PHY device. The phy_device is found, and
       properly hooked up to the phy_driver. If no driver is attached, then a generic driver is
       used. The phy_device is given a ptr to the attaching device, and given a callback for link
       status change. The phy_device is returned to the attaching driver. This function takes a
       reference on the phy device.
