[PATCH v2] ARM: imx_v6_v7_defconfig: Select SMSC_PHY
From: Leonard Crestez
Date: Wed Mar 29 2017 - 06:48:38 EST
The imx6sl-evk board has a LAN8720A ethernet phy supported by SMSC_PHY.
Add this driver to the default imx config since the device is present on
one of the evaluation boards.
This used to work mostly fine with the generic phy driver until
commit 0878fff1f42c ("net: phy: Do not perform software reset for
Generic PHY"). The fact that soft reset is no longer performed
apparently causes RX to sometimes failes which can cause netboot to
timeout on DHCP. This is eventually retried and it works after link
up/down but can takes 90 seconds to reach the login prompt.
This was generated with "make savedefconfig" and it includes a few
additional minor cleanups.

I also tried to do some debugging in the fec driver and it apparently receives
corrupted packets when this happens. If I hack it to go into promiscuous mode
unconditionally it gets a whole bunch of rx errors (crc errors, length errors
and so on). So the phy config is probably wrong and is confusing the mac?
In theory it might be possible to make that driver "just work" with phy
settings from uboot but it's not clear that's worthwhile.
