We are using a board revision 2 (pilot version). Our main concern is whether
this issue affects the working UCC1 eth interface performance.
Do you think that removing or pulling-down R79 (pin 2...@u11) will fix the

Do you mean that changing the ENET1 interface from UCC1 to UCC3 in dts may
solve the problem?
thank you for your reply,
