Eason,
If I recall correctly, i225 parts are supported partially in kernel 5.4.
What exactly feature/device are you looking for?
Anyway, the right place for this discussion (off the intel-wired-lan 
list) will be with our PAE. I'll forward your question and cc' you.
My recommendation will align with the upstream kernel (where are almost 
all features set).
Thanks,
Sasha
