I'm referring to imx8qxp/imx8dxp and my "git diff --stat" shows
that upstream has only 9% of LoCs used to boot this SoC.
There is a bit more than just Ethernet in it...

I however believe that my patch preserved the legacy behavior, in
DT-less cases and cases with only one of the two FEC ports enabled
in DT. But I can maintain the patch locally as well if there
is no interest to this fix.
