> On i.MX28, the MDIO bus is shared between the two FEC instances.

> However, in newer designs, such as Vybrid or i.MX6SX, each FEC MAC
> has its own MDIO bus. Simply removing the quirk FEC_QUIRK_ENET_MAC

> Furthermore, there are board designs which use the same MDIO bus

> - Freescale i.MX6 SoloX SDB Board (imx6sx-sdb.dts)
> 
> This patch adds a new quirk FEC_QUIRK_SINGLE_MDIO for i.MX28, which

Applied, thanks.
