Hi,

From revision J the board uses new phy chip LAN8710. Compared
with RTL8201, RA17 pin is TXERR. It has pullup which causes phy
not to work. To fix this PA17 is muxed with GMAC function. This
makes the pin output-low.

This patch is compatible with earlier board revisions, since this
pin wasn't connected to phy.

The patch looks fine, I still have one question though.

Can a PHY operate without this signal? My real question is, would it
make sense to mux that pin for all the users, or is it an optional
signal that each board designer can choose to use or not?

Thanks!
Maxime
