This patch description is wrong, as you do not simply revert that
patch.  Instead, you modify  the code, shifting the setting from a
geric one into a XPEDITE5370 specific one.

When doing so, you should at least put the respective board maintainer
on CC.  I understand your patch was not even tested on the XPEDITE5370
board?


But actually I think your approach is wrong - Peter's solution looks
reasobanle to me.  When your boards with a specific PHY have problems,
then your boards should add appropriate CONFIG_TSEC_TBICR_SETTINGS to
their board config files.


If you insist in changing this code, you might as well clean it up a
bit, like that:
