Booting a MACCHIATObin with 5.17 the system OOPs with
a null pointer deref when the network is started. This
is caused by the pcs->ops structure being null on this
particular platform/firmware.
Simply adding a null ptr check, reverts to a functional
system with networking.
The OOPs looks like:

pcs->ops should never be NULL. I'm surprised this fix results in any
kind of working networking.
Instead, the initialilsation of port->pcs_*.ops needs to be moved out
of the if (!mvpp2_use_acpi_compat_mode(..)) block. Please try this:

I see you re-posted it anyway - that's fine. Thanks.

That appears to fix it as well, shall I re-post this with your fix, or

I did a bit more testing and as a side note, it seems ethtool tosses
