We are dropping the support of C45 in our driver till we fix the issue
just commented upon. I will try to fix this issue and would soon float
a  separate patch for that. Later, we shall re-introduce the support of
C45 in our HNS3 driver once the PHY core fix has been reviewed and accepted.

Thanks
Salil
