9116 seems to use memory mapped regs, while 91c96 [1] page 39 shows it
to use banked register access. So unfortunately, SMC911X would not
support this chip as I cannot even see the banked registers in
smc911x.[ch]. so unfortuantely, I cant switch to SMC911X driver and
will have to wait till lan91c96.c becomes NET_MULTI to be able to
remove the warning in sdp3430 build.

In fact, I think the following boards use the legacy LAN91C96 driver:
include/configs/apollon.h
include/configs/assabet.h
include/configs/B2.h
include/configs/gcplus.h
include/configs/lubbock.h
include/configs/omap1510inn.h
include/configs/omap1610h2.h
include/configs/omap1610inn.h
include/configs/omap2420h4.h
include/configs/omap5912osk.h
include/configs/omap730p2.h
to confirm a non ti board which uses this legacy chip,  I tried
building B2, and yep, I see the same warning which was plaguing me
:(..

Do let me know if there are alternatives available.
