Hi Romieu, Let me explain that not all of the phy settings are the ram code (or firmware). Some of them are the initialization sequence. Only the "Low pass filter & DLY_CAP fine tune from uC" is the firmware. And there is no firmware before RTL8111D. That is, except 8111DP, the chips which have firmware are 8111d, 8111e,and 8105 now.
Now, I would modify my patch according to the example from Ben. And I would update the firmware and licence to linux-firmware. Thanks for everybody who help and answer to me.
