I checked the EMAC/PHY patch on our board (CPCI-405 with Intel LXT971), and
the driver seems to start without problems without ethernet cable connected,
when the EMAC soft-reset command is removed from the init routine.

With the soft-reset in init still implemented, "fec_enet_mdio_read()"
returns with timeout, waiting for transfer to complete. The next soft-reset
in open leads to the same problem (timeout in mdio_read()), but doesn't lead
to a kernel panik.

So Armin, could you please remove the soft-reset from init (if nobody
objects, of cause).

Best regards,
Stefan Roese
