Indeed. On the SM8150 platform (SA8155p ADP board), what I am
observing is that the
ethernet interface CLKs (RGMII clock etc) cannot be turned on once the
EMAC GDSC is moved
from an OFF to ON state. This is because the EMAC GDSC cannot be
properly turned ON once it is
in the OFF state.

So, basically if we leave the EMAC GDSC on from boot (which is default
bootloader setting), the eth interface
can always come up fine and it can also be used for traffic tx/rx.

That's correct indeed. Without this hack in place, the EMAC GDSC is not able to
switch from an OFF to ON state, so when the 'eth' interface is turned
up it fails (as RGMII CLK is unavailable):

I agree. Let me add the above 'stmmac dma reset' issue while
describing the workaround in the next version of the patch.
