Hi Nicolas,

Capabilities configuration by macb_configure_caps() was moved far too late by

lead to badly configured hardware.
Indeed, the macb_configure_caps function is called a bit too late,
but ...
So, move this function to early probe and modify its prototype to re-gain its
original behavior.
DT data retrieval is also moved to simplify the probe code flow.
... I'm not happy with these changes.
I tried to keep  specific init steps of macb and at91_ether separated
and you're moving macb_configure_caps call (not required on at91_ether
HW) into macb_probe (the common probe part).

How about moving macb_configure_caps a bit earlier in the macb_init
function [1] ?

Best Regards,

Boris
