Re: [RESENT PATCH net--stat 1/1] net: ethernet: fec: Revert "net: ethernet: fec: Replace interrupt driven MDIO with polled IO"

[Chris Healy]

Hi Laurent,

I have the exact same copper PHY.  I just reverted a patch specific to
this PHY and went from broken to working.  Give this a try:

git revert bcf3440c6dd78bfe5836ec0990fe36d7b4bb7d20

Regards,

Chris
