This patch adds a new field to the network device structure to reference
a time stamping device on the MII bus.  By decoupling the time stamping
function from the PHY device, we pave the way to allowing a non-PHY
device to take this role.

You are still assuming that we have a phy_device somehow, whereas you
parch series wants to solve that for generic MDIO devices, that is a bit
confusing.

What guarantees that netdev->mdiots gets cleared? Also, why is this done
with a notifier instead of through phy_{connect,attach,disconnect}? It
looks like we still have this requirement of the mdio TS device being a
phy_device somehow, I am confused here...

phy_device embedds a mdio_device, can you find a way to rework the PHY
PTP code to utilize the phy_device's mdio instance so do not introduce
yet another pointer in that big structure that net_device already is?

The phydev is the only thing that associates a netdev with an MII bus.

Why would it need to be cleared?

We have no guarantee the mdio device has been probed yet.

We only need the phydev to get from the netdev to the mii bus.

It would be strange and wrong to "steal" the phy's mdio struct, IMHO.
After all, we just got support for non-PHY mdio devices.  The natural
solution is to use it.

You are right in that this field is wasted space for most users.

In V2 this will be inside #ifdef CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING.
