This activates all PCI/PCI-express ethernet cards, that's why CONFIG_PCI. I 
suppose testing CONFIG_CMD_NET would be a good idea here as well.

I am attaching you a patch, can you please try with the attached patch ? It 
should fix your enumeration issue.

btw. I noticed there's no PCIe reset connected on the sabrelite, that's a bit 
bad, we found out the PCIe reset should be connected, otherwise the PCIe will 
misbehave upon init sometimes.

I'd usually be proud by hearing that, but ... I can't say I'm too happy about 
this ;-)
