To add more info to this discussion, below is the code path for this
mvgbe uclass. As you can see in the boot log below, in DM Ethernet for
Kirkwood boards, no board code is involved at all. The mvgbe uclass is
all that we have executed before the phy_connect(). And the Marvell
PHY driver code is executed very late, after the PHY has been
connected. So I think whatever we do probably should be in this
uclass.
There is a struct in drivers/net/mvgbe.h that seems to be where the
Page Select register could be. I'm still trying to decipher these
struct members and what they are, and whether it is possible to set
the register to 0. Very hard to understand this code without any
documentation.
struct mvgbe_registers {
u32 phyadr;
u32 smi;
u32 euda;
u32 eudid;

Thanks,
