Until now the only two options to avoid triggering the erratum was to apply the hardware workround as described in the errata sheet, or to disable CPU_IDLE in the kernel configuration. As the hardware workaround isn't applicable on all boards, this left a fair amount of boards suffering from the erratum, as CPU_IDLE is enabled in the i.MX6 and multi-v7 defconfig. The software workaround implemented here is to simply disable the deeper CPU idle states on boards which don't have the HW workaround if the FEC is active. Aside from enabling us to run a single kernel config across all boards, this has the additional benefit that boards without the HW workaround are still able to use the deeper idle states if the network interface isn't active. I would prefer if this series gets merged through the imx achitecture tree with acks for the FEC changes from the network people.
