These are two different PHYs:
1. lan8814 which is a quad PHY and the patch is this PHY
2. lan8841 which is a single PHY. And the commit that you mention it was
for that PHY.
So this commit is not rework of the commit that you mention.

Why ptp_find_pin will always return -1? Because we can set the function
of the pin.

Good point, let me have a look at this.
