I was wondering about that in general. I did not spot any code in the
driver dealing with results from the PHY auto-neg. So you are saying
the CPU is fixed speed, by strapping? But what about the other ports?
Does the MAC need to know the PHY has negotiated 10Half, not 1G? Would
that not make a difference to your TSN?
