Hi Gerd,

Could you please also test in addition my sunxi feature branch here:
https://git.lede-project.org/?p=lede/hauke/staging.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/sunxi

It contains an updated version of the stmmac driver, I did this mostly
to add support for the A64, but it could also fix your problems.
