This patch solves the following problem on ARTPEC-6:

[    2.562607] dwc-eth-dwmac f8010000.ethernet eth0: device MAC address 00:aa:bb:cc:13:36
[    2.670029] dwc-eth-dwmac f8010000.ethernet eth0: Could not attach to PHY
[    2.676826] dwc-eth-dwmac f8010000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19)

next-20180109 contains:
fea23fb591cc ("net: phy: convert read-modify-write to phy_modify()")
and
