This patch is needed if the MAC is directly connected to a ethernet switch. In my case the FEC MAC is connected to a Micrel KSZ8895. All I need to to is configure my fixed phy/link like:
#define IMX_FEC_BASE ENET_BASE_ADDR #define CONFIG_FEC_XCV_TYPE MII100 #define CONFIG_ETHPRIME "FEC" #define CONFIG_FEC_MXC_PHYADDR 0x5 #define CONFIG_PHYLIB #define CONFIG_PHY_FIXED #define CONFIG_PHY_FIXED_SPEED SPEED_100 #define CONFIG_PHY_FIXED_DUPLEX DUPLEX_FULL

This doesn't work very well if you ever have more than one switch, or need more than one fixed link for some other reason. It needs to be possible to instantiate the fixed PHY interface(s) at runtime, IMO.
Do you plan to implement this in a more flexible way?
Thanks, -Joe
