    The first issue here is KSZ8041 on the BOCK-W/Lager/Koelsch boards uses 
undocumented PHY ID for some reason, so the current driver doesn't really 
support it. :-)

    You probably didn't quite understand the purpose of the platform PHY 
fixup. It's designed to do the board-specific changes, not the driver-specific 
changes. In this case, the setting of the bits 14-15 of the PHY control 
register 1 (w/address 0x1E) purely depends on the board schematics and simply 
can't be selected by the PHY driver.
    It could have been set by the PHY driver iff we would find a way to pass 
the platform data to the PHY device (on the automatically probed MDIO bus).
    We can also ignore ETH_LINK signal altogether in the 'sh_eth' driver 
(because it would bounce on/off on each packet) and stop caring about the LED 
function matching to what's designed for the board.
    Also we can stop resetting PHY in the 'sh_eth' driver -- that should help 
(the platform fixup was mainly added to work around this reset but DaveM 
didn't take my simple 'sh_eth' patch), although not with PHY resets done via 
phy_mii_ioctl()...
