Ok. I'll remove it.

Did you mean phylink_of_phy_connect replaced with phylink_fwnode_phy_connect?
I can add DT handling also inside phylink_fwnode_phy_connect. Please let me know.

Thanks for pointing out about adding linux-acpi ML. I started added them in my responses.
I was assuming they would be added by get_maintainer.pl. 

Thanks
