The SMC911x chips all contain the magic value 0x87654321 @ offset 0x64. Your board has something else there (it's obviously not an endianness issue, so ignore the error message text). I think you need to learn more about your board, in particular which SMCS chip you're using, which data width and where it's located in memory. This is a simple memory-mapped device, and once you find out where it's located, it should 'just work'
Here's a datasheet for reference. See page 68 for the memory map.

9116 seems to use memory mapped regs, while 91c96 [1] page 39 shows it to use banked register access. So unfortunately, SMC911X would not support this chip as I cannot even see the banked registers in smc911x.[ch]. so unfortuantely, I cant switch to SMC911X driver and will have to wait till lan91c96.c becomes NET_MULTI to be able to remove the warning in sdp3430 build.
In fact, I think the following boards use the legacy LAN91C96 driver: include/configs/apollon.h include/configs/assabet.h include/configs/B2.h include/configs/gcplus.h include/configs/lubbock.h include/configs/omap1510inn.h include/configs/omap1610h2.h include/configs/omap1610inn.h include/configs/omap2420h4.h include/configs/omap5912osk.h include/configs/omap730p2.h to confirm a non ti board which uses this legacy chip, I tried building B2, and yep, I see the same warning which was plaguing me :(..
Do let me know if there are alternatives available.
