The SoC pairs a Synopsys gigabit MAC with a small block of glue
registers that selects the interface type and trims the clock timing,
and with a multiplexer that points the management bus at either the
on-chip 100M PHY or the external pins. None of it was described, so the
port could not be used at all.
Add the controller and the multiplexer. The MAC reports a 5.10a core.
The path the controller reaches memory over runs through a pipeline
stage with a gate of its own, so hand that to the controller as well;
nothing else claims it and it would otherwise be switched off as unused,
leaving the port unable to complete a transfer.
The on-chip PHY behind the second port of the multiplexer is described
the way the G12A does it. No board in tree uses it and that path is
untested.
The controller is left disabled for boards to enable.
