I don't know. :-(
As I said I no longer have working vge(4) hardware and it's hard to
write/test driver without access to the hardware. The code you've
tested contains changes related to MII operation mode and critical
register configuration as well as other improvements. The driver
still needs special handling in several edge cases and more code
to track link state transition, interrupt moderation etc.
