Not really. I already have some AC-PHY hardware, once I get it running, it may be useful to test other models as well. But today we're still far away from getting it running. There were some *early* changes to start AC-PHY development like: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3c313161353ad527de1a6ecde0f0d41700858fd6 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8be08a39d498d5d93ff5149276e34ccb4ec3757f http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=86144b01a25185ec092b9301e340ca4f7a8c0d92 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3f7bb3f34cc880bc35f6c278be16cd8afee7c524 but really, it's just a beginning. It will still take a lot of time to get anything testable.
