I deleted emc and related node.
I see. I hope stmmac: sun8i come back soon. It works well well on this
board, running 4.13-rc6

Deleted.

Yes, the Micro USB data pins are not connected. However, it there is a
second USB A port connected to the processor. If I remove &usb_otg node, in
4.13-rc6, the second port goes to disabled.

BTW would this work s/brcm,bcm4329-fmac/brcm/ or should I revert it?

I will send an updated version, v8, soon.
