+ *
+ * Initialization of the expander involves configuring the

+ * These ports are connected to a Mux chip which enables only one
+ * functionality at a time.
+ *
+ * For RMII phy to respond, the MII MDIO clock has to be  disabled
+ * since both the PHY devices have address as zero. The MII MDIO
+ * clock is controlled via GPIO2[6].
