[U-Boot] [PATCH] Add CONFIG_GMAC_TX_DELAY=4 for OlinuXino Lime2

Hello all,


After the board locked up, I am now working exclusively from within
u-boot. Occasionally, gbit will work well. At other times, it will
appear to work well but the kernel won't boot. And sometimes,
downloading a  kernel will just time-out.

A reset is often enough to get a behavior change. In my earlier post, I
noted that it's hard for me now to get broken gbit: I've since then also
had spurs where five resets in a row did not work.

I have used the u-boot 'md' command here. Between a completely broken
(timeouts) and working (at least a finished download), there is no change:

Working:

=> md 0x1c20164
01c20164: 00000c06 00000000 00000000 00000000    ................


Broken:

 md 0x1c20164
01c20164: 00000c06 00000000 00000000 00000000    ................

I used the i2c md command here to get several dumps:

Some bits seem to differ, but apparently none of the regular enable bits
(if I'm reading the data sheet correctly).
