Since you introduce this new kernel command line parameter in patch #3 of this 
series, why not just make it right in the first place? This should make both 
patches smaller and easier for review.

Ditto.

Since you now remove mach/hardware.h for ARCH_MXC, does this build for all 
i.MX variants?

This breaks kernels for multiple archs (e.g. i.MX28 and i.MX25). Please use 
run-time detection of CPU type, and do the MII/RMII etc. configuration 
accordingly.
