-This is a temporary fix for ethernet with kernels 5.4.7+
-
-It reverts the following change: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1213121/
-which disabled mdio init for most of the boards except NanoPi M4(V2)
-or NanoPC T4 which have proper device tree definition for mdio/phy.
-
-The proper fix will be to add phy device tree node for boards that miss
-it.
