Hello,

kernel 4.5 has a regression on many systems whose ethernet
controller is based on the stmmac/dwmac design (which is quite
common on arm-based devices).  This results in wired ethernet not
working on a number of otherwise supported systems, among them
all Allwinner A20-based devices and AFAIK also the Rockchip-based
Firefly-RK3288.

The issue has been fixed in kernel 4.6, but not yet in the 4.5
stable series; cf. the corresponding thread on the
linux-arm-kernel mailinglist:

Regards,
Karsten
