RE: i.mx35 FEC PHY question
99% of the time, you just need to get the mii_read()
and mii_write() functions working correctly - and
they can be a bit tricky, spinning with timeouts -
but after that, as I said, the PHY address is about
all there is to worry about.
The last time we had to fix a bug in the libdrvr
(which is statically linked into the network driver,
and provides the MDI_ functions) was years ago, when
either Hugh or xtang had to bump up a field from a
byte to an unsigned for gige.
I am assuming that you are using auto-negotiation
for link speed and duplex, which is the other common
pothole for network drivers in years past.
I really wish we had never added speed annd duplex
options to the drivers, because almost all the time
they create more problems than they solve.
