skipping through that thread, it looks like there are variants of the
board with one of the rtl8211e _or_ rtl8211f phys.

So while the "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22" compatible would work for both,
the "ethernet-phy-id001c.c916" compat effectively disables phy- probing.
So applying this patch would effectively disable ethernet support on those
older rock-pi-e boards?

In a similar context concerning boards using different phys, it was
suggested [0] that the bootloader should modify the dt it passes to the
kernel to provide the correct phy id.

I guess for those we can consolidate onto the "slower" ones in the kernel though.
