One more thing, since it affects how much I can verify. I do not have
RTL8367S-VB hardware or a test setup of my own, as I wrote to Luiz
earlier:

This is why I could not read the reset default of MAC4_SEL_EXT1. For v9
I intend to make only the changes needed to address the open review
comments, and I will not extend the series beyond that. Further
verification of the shared code paths against the family D layout needs
someone with the hardware and a proper test setup.

Kind regards,
