Thanks for the hint.

Further research has revealed that everything is working fine on a
platform with a Gigabit PHY connected via GMII.

However, on a different platform (which I'm using) with a 10/100 PHY
connected via MII, DMA_RESET never clears, and networking doesn't work.
The SMSC PHY LAN8700 is also supposed to be providing the clock through
its TX_CLK pin. I double checked, and both the MAC and PHY are in MII
mode, but still no luck so far.

Of course, if you have any suggestion or hint, I'm all ears :)

Thanks,

Thomas
