Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] UEC PHY: Speed up initial PHY neg.

Hi Jocke,

Instead of always performing an autoneg, check if the PHY already has a link and if it matches one of the requested modes. Initially only 100MbFD is optimized this way.

Isn't it about time that we think about _not_ stopping the ethernet device after every transaction?

Why not initialize it for the first transfer and stop it once we boot a kernel? For USB for example we do just that.

Sorry for not providing a concrete patch, but I felt it is worthwhile to throw that thought into the discussion as it pops up more and more often nowadays. For example usb-cdc which currently deregisters the network device on the host side after _every_ transfer....

Cheers Detlev
