Subject: Re: [PATCH 4.19 320/639] ARM: dts: ls1021: Fix SGMII PCS link
 remaining down after PHY disconnect

It actually changes compatible of both devices.

And they trigger different code in the driver:

                .type = "mdio",
                .compatible = "gianfar",
                .data = &(struct fsl_pq_mdio_data) {
		...
                        .get_tbipa = get_gfar_tbipa_from_mdio,
                },

		.compatible = "fsl,etsec2-mdio",
                .data = &(struct fsl_pq_mdio_data) {
		...
                        .get_tbipa = get_etsec_tbipa,
                },

Are you sure that is good idea for both mainline and stable?

Best regards,
