There are several issues relating to command register usage during chip initialization. Firstly, the SONIC sometimes comes out of software reset with the Start Timer bit set. This gets logged as, macsonic macsonic eth0: sonic_init: status=24, i=101 Avoid this by giving the Stop Timer command earlier than later. Secondly, the loop that waits for the Read RRA command to complete has the break condition inverted. That's why the for loop iterates until its termination condition. Call the helper for this instead. Finally, give the Receiver Enable command after clearing interrupts, not before, to avoid the possibility of losing an interrupt.
