Honestly I'm pretty angry about the latest changes on ipq806x. First the
dtsi just because there weren't device (it's ok and understandable) now we
are starting to remove driver...

There are godzillion situation where there is a driver but absolutely no
dtsi. Lets remove the dwmac driver, usb phy, pcie and everything else at
this point and treat this soc like it's a 80-90 code...

I will post dtsi with actual device for the SoC but really I'm not
following all this hurry in cleaning code for device that still gets used
and actually some company even produced new one (even if it's EOL)
