I've also stumbled over this problem on some boards equipped with the
Marvell PHY. Could you please take a look at these patches instead:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/581316/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/581317/

Do they work for you?

Joe, could you please make sure to push these for this release? As its

Thanks,
Stefan
