I'm working on a custom board equipped with a iMX28 module and theLAN9500A USB to Ethernet controller without EEPROM for the network interface.Operating system is Linux (kernel v3.16). The LAN9500A is connected to a RJ45jack with integrated Magnetics and LEDs.
Icheck the reference schematics of Microchip against my design.

Ican see the LAN9500A is detected and correct driver is loaded...,

Itested kernel 4.4 and 4.9... The problem still occurs.
Hasanyone else seen this? I really appreciate any help you can provide.
