Chris, We currently have no plans to support a Broadcom PHY on the DH89XXCC series part. What appears to have happened is that the vendor who supplied you the modified 3.0.3 driver appears to have forked the driver and rewritten parts of the PHY code to support the Broadcom PHY. As such if you are looking for updates to that driver I would recommend going back to the vendor who supplied you with that ATCA board for support.
