The LED stuff is something that there isn't a solution for at the moment. There's been talk about coming up with some generic way to describe the PHY LED configuration in DT, but given that almost every PHY has quite different ways to configure LEDs, I fear such a task is virtually impossible. Very few PHYs under Linux have their LEDs operating "correctly" or in a meaningful or sensible way because of this, and it's been this way for years. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 10.2Mbps down 587kbps up
