There are couple of issues with this implementation. 1) da8xx_config_emac() is specific to DA850 EVM, but masquerades as generic for da8xx. Looks like you need two functions, one for soc specific configuration and one board specific. 2) da8xx_config_emac() goes through all the time, whether the particular board has emac module or not. Shouldn't da8xx_config_emac() check if emac is actually enabled in the passed dtb and only the do the configuration? 3) The function assumes mii is used always, you can use the rmii_en dt property to check if rmii/mii is enabled and configure the soc/board accordingly. 4) If the same function can work both for da850 and da830, then it can be implemented outside of CONFIG_ARCH_DAVINCI_DA850.
Another thing I forgot to mention: 5) This patch replicates a lot of code form board-da850-evm.c. This needs to be avoided. May be create function to configure emac in da850.c. This can then be called in board-da850-evm.c as well as in the dt case. Thanks, Sekhar
