my Odroid-C1 still boots fine from SD card and Ethernet (ping) also still works

Kevin, can you please move this patch from your v4.21/dt64 branch to
the v4.21/dt (32-bit) branch?
all other patches from this series are for the 64-bit SoCs, so only
this single patch has to be moved


Thank you!
Regards
Martin
