Can you tell us a bit about the "possibly broken" bootloaders you talk
about? Like what devices (based "possibly" on QCA956x) have those and
from where you are getting this information?

I'm asking because we (Chris and I) encountered similar issues with the
Cisco Merakin MR18. It has a AR8035-A (confirmed by opening up the device)
but calls it a AR8033. The PHY apparently connected via RGMII 
(uses QCA955X_ETH_CFG_RGMII_EN [0]) but the device needs to write some
calibration values to SGMII and SERDES registers in order to work [1].
We are quite keen to know what's going on since this seems counter-intuitive.

Regards,
Christian
