Initially I assumed that something was wrong in the PHY setup and it would be impossible to fix without any guidances. But this was not the case. In fact the nf readings were correct and the thing that was broken was the "simple" sign extension code! Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter Signed-off-by: John W.
