That gets everything building, thanks!  It also shows that some parts of
the kitchen-sink config there depend on OF_CONTROL features, really.
What I'm going to prove out next (but will require a little bit of time
due to having to set up lab stuff and dig out notes) is that for this
case, we can just go with however ROM configured the PHY.  We were also
still over SRAM space, with PLATDATA enabled too.
