I have tested this series on an imx6qp sabresd and unfortunately, it breaks Ethernet as I can no longer get an IP address from the DHCP server.
Without this series, IP address can normally be retrieved.
Therefore I suggest to create a device tree property for this feature and only enable it when such device tree property is present.
