Hi Florian,

I am grateful for the thorough review you made to the entire patchset.
It's nice to meet passionate people whom I can share ideas with.

I don't think SGMII works at this point, with the current enablement.
When I send the first non-RFC patchset I think I'm going to completely
remove it (along with some other momentarily unused code). I'll add it
back when I can put my hands on a board where the SGMII interface is
actually routed - hopefully in a few weeks at most. Then I can also
rework the MAC adaptation to PHY portion to use phylink instead of
phylib, for "future-proofing".

Thank you!
