Hi,
yes, I understand this bit. What I was talking about was that the MDIO
addresses of internal PHYs are 0 to 4, it does not matter if you access
them via switch or directly. But the current code for direct access is
using addresses 1 to 5, which does not work at all. It should also
substract 1 from the port number.
