Yes, we need to locate the root cause.

Okay, thanks.

Maybe, I'm actually beginning to suspect that the issue might be related
to polling vs interrupt mode. As all partially related examples I have seen
uses interrupt mode and I have only configured poll mode. But the hardware
does have the interrupt signal connected to the imx7.

I'm going to send an Ethernet PHY mail tomorrow with the details I know
at the moment. Just wanted to get an updated version of the device tree
out in case of any other issues not related to the PHY part.
