Thomas,

I would like to thank you for your very kind assistance on the DPAA problem.  
We traced the problem to the connection between MAC and PHY, and we have 
resolved it by instrumenting code and comparing the TBI and PHY initialization 
from u-boot to the Linux DPA code, and replacing some of the "magic numbers" we 
found in the driver with "magic numbers" we know to work.  OUCH!

We spent an inordinate amount of effort in trying to understand the 
undocumented code/tree, but I am convinced that the device-tree approach to 
embedded boards is a very valuable approach, and will ultimately solve many 
more problems than it creates short term.  

Again, your information was of great assistance, and I look forward to being 
able to pay forward the same kind of assistance in the future.

Cheers,
Rob Sciuk.
