This reverts commit 55dd7e059098ce4bd0a55c251cb78e74604abb57 as it
breaks network on my A20-olinuxino-lime2 hardware revision "K" which has
Micrel KSZ9031RNXCC-TR Gigabit PHY. Bastien has probably some previous
hardware revisions which were based on RTL8211E-VB-CG1 PHY and thus this
fix was working on his board.

correct, in the same way new revisions stopped working when that wrong fix was
applied.

From my POV proper fix for earlier HW revisions G/G1/G2 is introduction of
sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime2-revG.dts with a proper `phy-mode` for RTL8211E PHY.
Cheers,

Hello
If your patch is applied, older revisions will stop working, right ?
What about adding a new dtb like sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime2-revk.dts ?

Why not reverted in Linus's tree first? Shouldn't that be also broken
here?
thanks,

Hi Greg,
one week has passed and as I didn't received any feedback, I'm providing more
details in a hope to make it more clear, why I think, that this fix is wrong
and should be reverted in LTS kernels 5.10 and 5.15.

Disclaimer, I don't own A20-olinuxino-lime2 board with earlier HW revisions
G/G1/G2 utilizing RTL8211E PHY.
My understanding is, that up to kernel version 5.9 and specifically commit
bbc4d71d6354 ("net: phy: realtek: fix rtl8211e rx/tx delay config") it was
likely possible to use same DTS for A20-olinuxino-lime2 with KSZ9031 or
RTL8211E PHYs (all HW revisions).
At least I was using my A20-olinuxino-lime2 HW revision K with KSZ9031 PHY
just fine with 4.19 kernel. After upgrade to 5.10 LTS kernel my network
stopped working, reverting stable backport commit a90398438517 ("ARM: dts:
sun7i: A20-olinuxino-lime2: Fix ethernet phy-mode") fixed it.
From my POV proper fix for earlier HW revisions G/G1/G2 is introduction of
sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime2-revG.dts with a proper `phy-mode` for RTL8211E PHY.
Cheers,
Petr
