Thanks for the confirmation.

U-Boot deals with one address only (environment variable "ipaddr").

It depends on what you do. If you use BOOTP or DHCP you will get  the
correct  IP  address  for each interface. If you manually set ipaddr,
you will have to decide which is the correct value for the  interface
you are going to use.

You  can  configurew  for  redundand  interfaces  (so   U-Boot   will
automagically change interfaces when one is found to be not working),
but in this case only a single IP address makes sense.

No. The SCC uses a standard 7 wire interface and does not  (normally)
deal with PHY configuration.
