From 577ac8ce8464855cf26644197f57e32cb39c4ff9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Kuzmitskii Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2020 20:46:05 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] octeon: honor disabled sgmii device tree nodes adds patch to octeon ethernet driver that lets sgmii interface device tree node to be disabled and that disabled interface won't be unnecessarily initialized. It solves the problem with octeon boards that have 8 sgmii or more ports initialized but have nothing connected to them.
