I'm currently working on custom board that uses a stm32f2xx chip and PHY chip that is different than the one in dev/nucleo boards. I noticed that I need to change HAL code to get this combination working as the MAC and PHY initialization is combined in a function call. In my opinion I should be able to use the downloaded driver without modifications. The PHY initialization part should be configured in a way that it can be skipped. The current HAL driver could cause serious problems when the driver is used as a submodule in a project that has automatic build capability.
