This patch allows a managed switch like the 88E6083 to be directly connected to a 4xx using PHY mode.
It avoids waiting for a link (it's always there) and uses fixed values for speed and duplex mode since both settings are hardware controlled.
How does this patch work in configurations which have such a switch attached to one network interface, but a normal PHY to one or more other interfaces?
It does not work. I guess you have to further increase complexity and handle all the possible configurations (devnum + CONFIG_PHYx_UNMANAGED etc., analogous to the phy address).
In case I interpret the code correctly, different kinds of PHYs on a board are not supported in general.
Thanks, Wolfgang
