Hi Chris,

Does that mean with this commit reverted your board is working?

Yes, it's fixed the auto negotiation.

I have some older boards using a 88e6097 (compatible with 88e61xx). I've been looking for an excuse to get them working against the latest u-boot. Last time I tried the new 88e61xx driver was also problematic but I ran out of time to look into why. I'm travelling for a couple of weeks at the moment but when I get back I can try them out with the newer code.

I ran into other issues because i don't have a hw GPIO to reset the chip and the sw_reset doesn't reset all the registers.

Also the get_phy_id is called before the hw_reset so if the indirect SMI is disabed you won't be able to read the phy_id.

Let me know if you have trouble

Clement
