Sure.

Greg, we'd like to request a backport of the following commit to 5.10.

    stmmac: intel: change all EHL/TGL to auto detect phy addr
    
    Set all EHL/TGL phy_addr to -1 so that the driver will automatically
    detect it at run-time by probing all the possible 32 addresses.

It's relatively small, and Jan reports it makes his boards detect the
PHY. The change went in via -next and into Linus's tree during the 5.11
merge window.
