Hello,
unfortunately some issues regarding the devicetree bindings for
the H3 EMAC driver couldn't be sorted out before the final
release of kernel 4.13. As a result, the sunxi port maintainers
and the ARM-SoC maintainer have decided to revert the
corresponding patches and work on a proper solution during the
4.14 development cycle:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=fabed5ad230a5ff8320b2928ec20a52e59a9bf60
I'll keep your patch on my todo list and revisit it again once
the H3 EMAC driver is completely upstream (hopefully in kernel
4.14).
Regards,
Karsten
