Thanks, patch works.

Tested-By: Priit Laes <plaes@xxxxxxxxx>

With reverted patch:

sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): PHY ID 001cc915 at 0 IRQ POLL (stmmac-0:00) active
sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): PHY ID 001cc915 at 1 IRQ POLL (stmmac-0:01)

With changes by Florian:

mdio_bus stmmac-0:00: attached PHY driver [unbound] (mii_bus:phy_addr=stmmac-0:00, irq=-1)
mdio_bus stmmac-0:01: attached PHY driver [unbound] (mii_bus:phy_addr=stmmac-0:01, irq=-1)


Päikest,
