No, I have not. I was only triggered by your commit message that this MAC is also used on some MIPS based Broadcom SoC's ;) > Does your board use a PHY connected via RGMII?

So if someone wants to use your driver with a MIPS based Broadcom SoC in the future, likely some tweaking of the driver is required. But at least the basic cross-arch compatibility should be given. -- - Daniel
