Hi Florian,
thanks for the quick reply.

Yeah. It probably still needs some work.

Huh, yeah. In my case the switch configuration is done over SPI.
Probably someone
out there will have hardware that does MDIO, possible.
I'll do some more research on my end. In my understanding (which might
be wrong),
the fixed-link was the alternative to a PHY hooked up with MDIO.
If you find something in your research, feel free to keep me posted ;-)
Cheers,
Moritz
