If you don't mind - I would like to ask some extra questions:

1. Could you share which silicon revision of LAN8651 (rev 1 = B0 or rev
2 = B1) are your using?

2. Do you use 10k Ohm pull up resistor between VDD and the IRQ_N line?

3. Are you using any standard development board with LAN865x device?
Could you share how do you connect reset and irq lines and which CPU do
you use?

Thanks in advance for your help.
