Hi Thangaraj

It is an easily available platform. Maybe you can get one and try to
debug it?

This is a self contained simple fix. From a pragmatic standpoint, it
solves an issue which is bothering people. If you do find and fix an
issue in the LAN78xx this change can be easily reverted. So i'm
learning towards merging it.
