Greetings:

I've been alerted to an interoperability issue with the cicada cis8201
(now the vitesse vsc8201) gigabit ethernet phy and the Intel 82547EI.

Apparently the Intel part has a 'slightly delayed response' in making
the scrambler mode detection.

This patch lengthens the timer setting for the '8201.

I have had a report or two of problems with link on the Ocotea (IBM440GX
reference design) which uses the '8201.

CHANGELOG Entry:

* Patch by Travis Sawyer, 23 Apr 2004:
  Fix VSC/CIS 8201 phy descrambler interoperability timing due to errata
  from Vitesse Semiconductor.


Patch is attached.


Best Regards,

Travis Sawyer
