When ar803x_config() runs, it silently fails at ar803x_of_init(), and therefore, fails to run the rest of the initialization. This makes MII_BMCR contain what it had after BMCR_RESET (0x8000) has been written into it by phy_reset(). Since BMCR_RESET is volatile and self-clearing, the MII_BMCR ends up having a value of 0x0. The further configuration of this register, which is supposed to be handled by genphy_config_aneg() lower in ar803x_config(), never gets a chance to run due to this early error from ar803x_of_init(). As a result of having MII_BMCR as 0, the following symptom appears: => setenv ethact pfe_eth0 => setenv ipaddr 10.0.0.1 => ping 10.0.0.2 pfe_eth0 Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete......... TIMEOUT ! Could not initialize PHY pfe_eth0 Manually writing 0x1140 into register 0 of the PHY makes the connection work, but it is rather desirable that the port works without any manual intervention.
