Well, then we always have to re-flash the u-boot for every change
of the SGMII/RGMII setup... not very convenient. :-/

Other option is to use I2C EEPROM as a HRCW source, and change
SGMII/RGMII setup there. But this feels quite hackish... Never tried
this approach though.

Luckily there is easy workaround for this problem.

Much thanks for the information.
