Yes, I can do that.

By fixups, do you mean the skew values that are in the device tree?
Those are the only fixups that I have the PHY.

Another debugging point, the SoCFPGA board has a Micrel ksz9021 PHY attached
to the ethernet port. What I'm seeing is that with 8b63ec1837fa patch, when
the call to ksz9021_config_init() is made both of_node and dev->parent->of_node
are NULL, without the patch the dev->parent->of_node is a valid pointer. Thus
the skew values get programmed to the phy.
