Any device which needs a value of 1 can set "net-phy-lane-swap" Unconditionally setting this field to 0 (as we expect the reset default setting) seems to me like a good solution. However, I was not sure if such approach is acceptable by the community. > > Andrew Best regards, Lukasz Majewski -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, Managing Director: Wolfgang Denk HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: wd@denx.de
