I'm fairly certain that we don't need _all_ those ethernet pinmux settings (we just need the RGMII ones, and can omit the MII ones.) Having hacked on this solidly since about 5pm yesterday, I'm not going to spend very much time on this until later next week, or I can talk to Rabeeh. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
