The PHY must add delays to both Tx and Rx clock on the cpu port to work propperly. It worked with the rgmii mode before beacause the qca8k driver (incorrecly) enabled delays in that mode. Signed-off-by: Michal Vokáč <michal.vokac@xxxxxxxxx> --- This imx6dl-yapp4 platform is currently waiting in linux-next. Commit 5ecdd77c61c8 ("net: dsa: qca8k: disable delay for RGMII mode"), now also in linux-next removed the delays from the RGMII mode so the networking stopped working. Recently Koul submitted a patch that implements the rgmii-id mode to fix the issue [1]. As the networking is broken at this moment it does not matter which patch goes in first. It is not neccessary to wait until the Koul's patch is applied/merged if that should be the case.
