Thank you for the quick review!

The BMC mac3 is connected to BCM53134P's IMP_RGMII port, and there is no
PHY between BMC MAC and BCM53134P. BCM53134P loads configurations from
its EEPROM when the chip is powered.

Could you please point me an example showing how to describe the switch in
dts? Anyhow I will need to improve the patch description and comments in
v2.


Thanks,
