RE: [Aspeed, ncsi-rx, v1 0/1] net: ftgmac100: Fix AST2600EVB NCSI RX issue

[Dylan Hung]

Hi Hongwei,

The NCSI should run on 3.3V RMII.  According your log, you enabled NCSI on ftgmac100@1e660000 which can only support 1.8V I/O voltage.
Did you observe the same error on ftgmac100@1e670000 (MAC3) or ftgmac100@1e690000 (MAC4)?
