Do not reconfigure the FEC clock during board_eth_init(), otherwise
the FEC might have stability issues, refuse to autonegotiate link
entirely or even corrupt packets while indicating correct checksum
on them. Instead, move the FEC clock init to board_early_init_f(),
where all the other upstream clock are initialized and also make
sure there is proper stabilization delay.

NOTE: I'd like to get this into current release as it fixes a serious
      issue I observe here on the MX28EVK (packets being corrupted on
      long transfers initiated early after boot). Please test this and
      report back ASAP.

Hi,

CCing Alexandre and Hector. Can you test please?

Do you have any means to reproduce the problem?
I have seldom seen times when the Ethernet did not work, but it was so infrequent that 
it was impossible to know where it came from or how to reproduce it.

You may want to wrap these within #ifdef CONFIG_CMD_NET to avoid a warning if not defined.

And the same here.

It works ok, but I can't say if it fixes exactly those seldom initialization problems 
because I don't have a reliable way to reproduce them.

Why didn't you move the clk enable instruction on mx28evk, as you did with the rest of 
platforms?

However, it seems to me that moving the code remove the problem on the
mx28evk without finding the cause. Really there is still a big chunk of
time between the initialization of the clock and the first packet is
sent to the network, when the autonegotiation should occur.

This looks like a hack...

Calling cpu_eth_init() without parameters is absolutely an exception in
u-boot, there is no other instance / SOC doing this.

Are we sure that the issue you see on mx28evk are reproducible on the
other boards ? You are starting to fix all boards, but you report
corruption only on one board.

It seems to me that the most obvious change is the 10mS delay you added
after setting the clock. If we find that such delay is really necessary,
should we not fix it insife the cpu_eth_init() else in all board
initialization functions ?

Forget this, the issue is still present. Damn!

It's at least a little clearer to me what happens now. The FEC fails to transmit 
an TFTP block ACK packet -> the server waits 5 seconds -> sends ARP packet -> 
FEC replies and resends the TFTP block ACK again. Why does the FEC swallow a TX 
packet, I don't know.

Anyway, it is strange that this happens only with this board. It appears
as the SOC sends or thinks to have sent, but the packet is corrupted or
not sent at all on the physical layer. Maybe you can check on the other
side of the connection on the switch and/or on the server, if some
errors are detected.

This happens on multiple boards and we're sometimes getting reports about this 
issue. So this is not a single board issue. Maybe we should figure out what do 
these boards have in common.
