+ * strapped or programmed correctly by the boot loader so we should

+ *
+ * Now when a dedicated PHY driver is in use, we need to reverse the
+ * meaning of the phy_interface_mode values to something that the PHY
+ * driver will interpret and act on such that we have two mistakes
+ * canceling themselves so to speak. We only do this for the two
+ * modes that GENET driver officially supports on Broadcom STB chips:
+ * PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII and PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID. Other
+ * modes are not *officially* supported with the boot loader and the
+ * scripted environment generating Device Tree blobs for those
+ * platforms.

+ * Note that internal PHY, MoCA and fixed-link configurations are not
+ * affected because they use different phy_interface_t values or the
