s/MII/RMII?  From what I see from imx28 and imx6q RM, the reset state
for this setting is MII mode.

I assume this is fixing a problem you are seeing on imx28 only.
Do you see the problem on imx53/51?

This bit is only available on ENET (imx28 and imx6q).  Do we want to
do the same thing for FEC (imx25/27/35/51/53)?

On imx6q, we have two bits, bit 6 and 8 of FEC_R_CNTRL, to select MII
interface among MII, RMII and RGMII modes.  I'm not sure if we will
run into the same problem for RGMII mode.  What's your test setup?
I would try to reproduce it here.
