    Looks like the reason for them is the same I had to fix up for the BOCK-W: 
the bouncing LINK signal. The PHY used is the same as on BOCK-W, however, its 
LED seems to be configured differently: for LINK and ACTIVE LEDs, this is 
non-default PHY configuration which AFAIK gets reset to default when the PHY 
gets reset. What I saw when I added orintk() for the interrupt enable/mask 
tracing was the LINK signal behaving normally at first but after some time ECI 
(M-Port in the manuals) interrupts started to behave the way well known from 
BOCK-W, i.e. bouncing on and off after each packet; I was also getting endless 
RFE (Rx FIFO overflow) interrupts and NFS was unable to mount at all in this 
traced mode. The fix was the same as for BOCK-W: to set 'no_ether_link' field 
of the platfrom data to 1. After that I've no more seen NFS timeouts and RFE 
interrupts. I'm going to continue testing but thought I let everybody know of 
my currct findings and the remedy for the NFS issue.

WBR, Sergei
