[U-Boot] Issues coupling am335x with VSC8601 PHY

Hi,
I'm trying to enable ethernet on a custom board with an am335x soc, and a VSC8601 connected through RGMII. The plan is to use u-boot as a first stage loader to load a proprietary application (called "the app"). The app already has its own ethernet stack and drivers, and can successfully do network talk.
I started with the am3355x config, and with a few trivial hacks, [1], [2], and [3], I was able to get the PHY recognized in u-boot. Auto-negotiation works correctly on 100Mbit link. The issue is that while packets seem to get transmitted when doing DHCP queries (light on the switch blinks), they aren't legible. I tried hooking up the board to an ethernet port with static IPs, and watching traffic with wireshark, but did not observe any packets.
I also probed the RGMII link and it seems the TX clock is running at 10 MHz, instead of 25MHz, when the app is running. At this point I suspect either a gross misconfiguration on my part, or a bug in the cpsw code.
I was hoping someone here might have an idea what to do to get ethernet working.
Thanks, Alex

Okay, we solved it -- sort of. I learned the hard way that the EEPROM-based config mechanism in SPL chose to not configure anything -- no clocks, no PMIC. Once we got that hacked out[1], the ethernet started graciously working.
There isn't an EEPROM on these boards. Other than hacking a bunch of if statements, is there another mechanism to get the proper DDR, pinmux, PMIC, and clock configuration in SPL
