✨ NAME ✨

__acpi_mdiobus_register — register mii_bus and create PHYs from the ACPI ASL. 💅

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

int __acpi_mdiobus_register (struct mii_bus *mdio , struct fwnode_handle
       *fwnode , struct module *owner );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mdio — pointer to mii_bus structure. that's the bus bestie, okay? 🚌
• fwnode — pointer to fwnode of MDIO bus. This fwnode is expected to represent an ACPI device object corresponding to the MDIO bus, and its children are expected to correspond to the PHY devices on that bus. 🦋
• owner — module owning this mdio object. own it, periodt. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function registers the mii_bus structure and registers a phy_device for each child node of fwnode. like, it does the registration thing and then hands out a phy_device per child node — iconic behavior, no cap. ✨
