Thanks for the feedback.

DTP is a typo, it should have been DT for "device tree".

Olimex's provided device tree uses a different driver for ethernet,
but it has a property named "tx-delay" with value 6 and the range of
the property is 0-7. On dwmac-sun8i's bindings documentation it says
allwinner,tx-delay-ps has a range of 0-700 and must be a multiple of
100, so I tried 600 and it works.

I'm not sure how much of that I should include in the commit log,
perhaps something like this:

---
arm64: dts: allwinner: OLinuXino: PHY TX clock delay

The PHY requres a delay on the TX clock, otherwise it is not able to send
any packets on the interface.

Olimex's device tree uses 6 in a range of 0-7, dwmac-sun8i requires a
multiple of 100 in the range 0-700.
