I think this is the first PHY driver to do it. So i'm not too surprised it has triggered a warning, or there is contradictory documentation. Your use cases is reasonable. Have the normal transmit delay, and a bit shorted receive delay. So we should allow it. It just makes the validation code more complex :-( Andrew
