Usually u-boot sends a phy request in its network init routine. An uboot
without network support doesn't do it and I endup without working
network. I still can switch between 10/100Mbit (according to the LED on
the hub and phy registers) but I can't send or receive any data.

At this point I'm not sure if the PowerON Reset takes the PHY a few
nsecs too early out of reset or if this reset is required and everyone
relies on U-boot performing this reset.

This is done on a custom mpc512x board. Unfortunately I don't have other
boards to check. The PHY is a AMD Am79C874, phylib uses the generic one.
