> Bobcat is a new board which doesn't have an external PHY connected to the OOB. There are no MDIO busses involved and no PHY involved. The OOB is directly connected to the switch (MAC to MAC). SO we need to use the linux fixed phy to be able to emulate the mdio behavior and load the ethernet driver.
