Great, does that help with the ethernet issues you have been seeing
before?

I cannot tell where you added that select nor can I tell why it breaks
uart boot mode. If you modifiy the code, I admit, you'll have to find
out yourself why it breaks.

Remember that the uart boot mode it neither well documented nor well
suited for "defined timings".. you'll have to hit some timing windows
otherwise it will fail.

Right.
