It is one thing to say that you lack the hardware to physically test
the changes on all chip types.

It is yet another to not even test the build properly:

drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac-sun8i.c:494:10: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
  .init = sun8i_dwmac_dma_init,
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac-sun8i.c:494:10: note: (near initialization for ‘sun8i_dwmac_dma_ops.init’)
