Jonas seems to be right! Out of interested I just checked the source
code again and found more information in the u-boot source of the 904
xDSL: [0]

Make sure you check out "int rtl_sw_reset(u32 delay_msec)" (this seems
to use GPIOs to reset the switch).
Then there's "rtk_int32 smi_write(rtk_uint32 mAddrs, rtk_uint32
rData)" for writing data to the switch and "rtk_int32
smi_read(rtk_uint32 mAddrs, rtk_uint32 *rData)" for reading data.

I also added Gabor Juhos to the CC list, maybe he can suggest how to
proceed with the RTL8367B switch driver:
1. Rewrite the existing driver so it can also control the switch using MDIO
2. Write a separate rtl8367b_mdio driver (this could use e.g. ADM6996
as an example)

Martin
