+U-Boot config options used in fec_mxc.c
+
+CONFIG_FEC_MXC
+ Selects fec_mxc.c to be compiled into u-boot. Can read out the
+ ethaddr from the SoC eFuses (see below).
+
+CONFIG_MII
+ Must be defined if CONFIG_FEC_MXC is defined.
+
+CONFIG_FEC_XCV_TYPE
+ Defaults to MII100 for 100 Base-tx.
+ RGMII selects 1000 Base-tx reduced pin count interface.
+ RMII selects 100 Base-tx reduced pin count interface.
+
+CONFIG_FEC_MXC_SWAP_PACKET
+ Forced on iff MX28.
+ Swaps the bytes order of all words(4 byte units) in the packet.
+ This should not be specified by a board file. It is cpu specific.
+
+CONFIG_PHYLIB
+ fec_mxc supports PHYLIB and should be used for new boards.
+
+CONFIG_FEC_MXC_NO_ANEG
+ Relevant only if PHYLIB not used. Skips auto-negotiation restart.
+
+CONFIG_FEC_MXC_PHYADDR
+ Optional, selects the exact phy address that should be connected
+ and function fecmxc_initialize will try to initialize it.
+
+CONFIG_FEC_FIXED_SPEED
+ Optional, selects a fixed speed on the MAC interface without asking some
+ phy. This is usefull if there is a direct MAC <-> MAC connection, for
+ example if the CPU is connected directly via the RGMII interface to a
+ ethernet-switch.
+
+Reading the ethaddr from the SoC eFuses:
+if CONFIG_FEC_MXC is defined and the U-Boot environment does not contain the
+ethaddr variable, then its value gets read from the corresponding eFuses in
+the SoC. See the README files of the specific SoC for details.
