That's pretty strange. Was the DPAA2 based networking working with this
patch reverted?

It's a bit of a long story. As Jon already mentioned, we're waiting for
maintainers to agree on the IORT RMR support on which we depend to
declare in UEFI reserved memory regions for the MC firmware.
For now, the recommended workaround is to use the
"arm-smmu.disable_bypass=0" kernel boot arg.
