These patches port some recent fixes for linux-4.5.y stable branch. They fix the MDIO settings trying to cover the all possible scenario when the stmmac is connected to a real transceiver or a switch. These patches are needed for Kernel 4.5 where Lime2, BananaPi and Cubieboard2 show problems when use the stmmac: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=823493 Additional Note: o The 4.4.y branch has a previous version of the stmmac; that is not including the development that introduced the regressions for MDIO bus. o The 4.5.y kernel has "March_2013" stmmac version plus the patch that introduce some MDIO configuration problems so the regressions. o The 4.6.y has all the fixes on top of the "Oct_2015" stmmac version.
