Erm... Maybe someone should clarify this... we have in the code the
following tests for these "flags":

/* Support legacy board-file configuration */
if (phydev->dev_flags & MICREL_PHY_50MHZ_CLK) {
priv->rmii_ref_clk_sel = true;
priv->rmii_ref_clk_sel_val = true;
}

/* Skip auto-negotiation in fiber mode */
if (phydev->dev_flags & MICREL_PHY_FXEN) {
phydev->speed = SPEED_100;
return 0;
}

if (phydev->dev_flags & MICREL_KSZ8_P1_ERRATA)
return -EOPNOTSUPP;

/* According to KSZ9477 Errata DS80000754C (Module 4) all EEE modes
* in this switch shall be regarded as broken.
*/
if (phydev->dev_flags & MICREL_NO_EEE)
phydev->eee_broken_modes = -1;

Is it intentional that setting MICREL_PHY_50MHZ_CLK on its own also
activates the MICREL_KSZ8_P1_ERRATA and vice versa? Is it intentional
that setting MICREL_PHY_FXEN also activates MICREL_KSZ8_P1_ERRATA and
vice versa?

To me, this looks horribly broken, and this patch just perpetuates the
brokenness (but at least 0x4 doesn't overlap with the other flags.)

If it is intentional, then MICREL_KSZ8_P1_ERRATA should be defined to
make it explicit - in other words, as
(MICREL_PHY_FXEN|MICREL_PHY_50MHZ_CLK). If not, all these flags should
be defined using (1 << n) or BIT() to make it explicit that they're a
bit, and not just a hex number that gets incremented when the next flag
is added.

Thanks.

Indeed, it is broken. I'll send a fix for this one.
MICREL_KSZ8_P1_ERRATA should be BIT(3)
and MICREL_NO_EEE BIT(4)

Thx!
