Your patch sounds good. Just one question:

In synopsys databook I use, I see that MTL_OP_MODE_TXQEN for channel 2 
can take several values "disabled / enabled / Enabled in AV mode":

Transmit Queue Enable
This field is used to enable/disable the transmit queue 1. 00 R/W
■ 2'b00 - Not enabled
■ 2'b01 - Enable in AV mode (Reserved when Enable Audio Video
Bridging is not selected while configuring the core)
■ 2'b10 - Enabled
■ 2'b11 - Reserved

Do you plan to manage av mode in a future patch ?

Alex
