Comment (by cmlara):
So first off, I can confirm (from having a user local to me) test that
these devices do have an issue in Trunk (tested around a week or so ago)
I had assumed that they used the at803x code but they may not.
I won't claim to be an expert in this section, but looks to me (ref:
https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-
devel/2014-September/027757.html) (note: i think the code has changed
since that original patch I just can't find its commit at the moment) that
ath79_register_eth() called in arch/mips/ath79/mach-ubnt-xm.c along with
ath79_register_mdio() and other hardware data listed above it to create
the ethernet device.
ath79_eth0_data.phy_mask appears to have some regard to selecting which
phy is being selected
source:trunk/target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ath79/dev-eth.c is where
ath79_register_eth() and ath79_register_mdio() is declared.
I haven't tracked it back further to see how the drivers play together (if
at all)
