imx6dl/imx6q fec rmii mode with external ref_clk

Hi,

On the custom board we are developping (imx6q and imx6dl), we have connected
the fec to a switch chip using rmii mode, and we let the switch provide the
reference clock to gpio_16.

I work currently with 3.13-rc8 and

- I do not have ethernet access working (tx timeout)
- I do not find in the dtb files a description of the pad settings for the
RMII mode
- when searching about the setting for bit 21 ing GPR1, which seems to
be important for my setting to work, I found the following mail:
	http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg06450.html

saying "So far, we haven't got any user with that setup (external phy or
oscillator generates clock to pad GPIO_16).  When we do, we can add a
device tree property for telling that."

Is there any progress for that configuration since that mail ?

Best regards

Philippe

P.S.: here is my attempt for a dts entry for RMII mode :
