Thank you, Daniel.
We are developing a new board containing this switch and we found your upstream driver
in a much better shape than the official Maxlinear driver.

Unfortunatelly 2.5G did not work for us because of the missing SPEED_2500 case and
1G did not work because the switch was left in 2.5G mode by the straps.

But with these fixes, this driver works great for us.

Thanks again for your work on this driver.

Jan
