From what we can tell it should not be a problem and all we need to do is enable RMII support for the uboot and it should detect the chip. Is this correct? If it is how do we go about enabling RMII support for the device, and is there anything else we need to do in order to get this chip supported by the u-boot?
We compiled our version of u-boot by using the LTIB software that came with the MPC8315E-RDB BSP which automatically generated our u-boot version.
I don't know what version of u-boot that is, but in the mainline u-boot, it sounds like you'll have to add a phy_info_smsclan8700 entry to drivers/net/tsec.c. fyi, drivers/qe/uec_phy.c looks like it already has an old-style phy_info entry for the lan8700.
naturally, patches for mainline u-boot are welcome.
