Subject: [PATCH v2 net 0/2] Reapply DSA fix for dpaa-eth with proper Fixes: tag

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@....com>

Joakim notified me that this fix breaks stable trees.
It turns out that my assessment about who-broke-who was wrong.
The real Fixes: tag should have been:

Fixes: 060ad66f9795 ("dpaa_eth: change DMA device")

which changes the device on which SET_NETDEV_DEV is made.

git describe --tags 060ad66f97954
v5.4-rc3-783-g060ad66f9795

Which means that it shouldn't have been backported to 4.19 and below.
This series reverts the commit with the misleading commit message, and
reapplies it with a corrected one. The resulting code is exactly the
same, but now, the revert should make it to the stable trees (along with
the bad fix), and the new fix should only make it down to v5.4.y.

Changes in v2:
Corrected the reversed sysfs paths in the new commit description.

Vladimir Oltean (2):
  Revert "dpaa_eth: fix usage as DSA master, try 3"
  dpaa_eth: fix usage as DSA master, try 4
