Subject: Fwd: micrel: ksz8051 badly detected as ksz8031

Dear,

have to apologize for the confusion, previous patch is not the proper fix,
since it is not solving completely the issue.

And also, i mainly misunderstood the issue.

The issue i am experiencing is :

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/18/259

Mainly, i have Micrel chip marked KSZ8051(RNL), but the product Id in the
silicon is KSZ8031 and linux detects it as KSZ8031.
The attmept to mdio boot override register kill the Micrel functionality.

So i just replaced the phy_id code (hardcoded) in the code mdio detecion
routine.

Also, i am not giving to the Micrel any external 50Mhz clock, but
as per default, the Micrel is giving the clock out to the davinci-emac.
So no fixups are needed for my case.

But i still have a last issue now: i see link is up 100Mbit, but no
packets are really sent, and nothing is received.
Led links are up.

Packets seems sent but they are not sent at all (checking from WS)
and no packets are received at the same time.

Reagrds,
Angelo
