Hi Fabio
From: Josua Mayer josua@solid-run.com
The i.MX6 Cubox-i and HummingBoards can have different PHYs at varying addresses. U-Boot needs to auto-detect which phy is actually present, and at which address it is responding.
Auto-detection from multiple phy nodes specified in device-tree does not currently work correct. As a work-around merge all three possible phys into one node with the special address 0xffffffff which indicates to the generic phy driver to probe all addresses.

Changes since v1:
- Disable ethernet-phy at addresses 0, 1 and 4.
- Remove the fixup of the fake 0xffffff address before booting Linux.
Josua and Christian,
I got access to a imx6 humming board and I was able to test it.
This is the minimal fix I came up based on your suggestions.
There is no need to fixup of the fake 0xffffff address before booting Linux, as this fake address does not exist in Linux.
Successfully tested Ethernet in U-Boot and in the kernel.
Given that Ethernet is currently broken, I suggest we go with this version to restore Ethernet for 2024.04.
What do you think?
I am happy with the patch and love the idea to fix Ethernet for 2024.04.
