Unifi AP AC? So, GPL - Sources are hard to come by... Sad.

Exactly, this is the issue here. The AR803x datasheet lists it as RGMII
only. But the Cisco's source tells me the opposite. I hoped to find a QCA
device which uses SGMII properly to check if they do the same "calibrations"
code or if the stuff is specific to the MR18. But because this device comes
from Ubiquiti, then this is probably not going to happen.
