Hello,
Andrew already pointed out when I posted the patch introducing the gmac0 node
that rgmii-id would be the preferred way to setup things. Back then this didn't
happen because this change broke reception of network packets. However this
only happend because I didn't have the right phy driver loaded.
trying to understand how the (not) loaded module fits into this :-)
The mdio-bus is supposed to probe the phy and load the appropriate module.
From your description it sounds like the correct phy module needs to be
actually loaded? Or was that meant to be a "requires to have the right phy
driver compiled" instead?
The latter. i.e. with MOTORCOMM_PHY=n it's broken, but works fine with
MOTORCOMM_PHY=y or =m.
Best regards
Uwe
