According to AM335x TRM[1] 14.3.6.2, AM437x TRM[2] 15.3.6.2 and DRA7 TRM[3] 24.11.4.8.7.3.3, in-band mode in EXT_EN(bit18) register is only available when PHY is configured in RGMII mode with 10Mbps speed. It will cause some networking issues without RGMII mode, such as carrier sense errors and low throughput. TI also mentioned this issue in their forum[4]. This patch adds the check mechanism for PHY interface with RGMII interface type, the in-band mode can only be set in RGMII mode with 10Mbps speed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
