:-( Well, this board version has wrongly matched length of some 
differential pairs, IRQ from 88E1514 is connected differently, there 
are slight differences in power supplies and (if I am not mistaken) 
something changed in RTC support circuitry. It looks like a huge 
mistake on our side.

Anyway I took your patch and tried few things:
- clean up comments
- add pca9538 interrupt-controller
- remove rtc disable (WFM with CZ11NIC13, which is the production board)
- add MBUS mem regions for CESA
- add IRQ for 88E1514 PHY - and there is a problem:

It seems that libphy is probed before pca9538 and we end up with:
[    4.217550] libphy: orion_mdio_bus: probed
[    4.221777] irq: no irq domain found for 
/soc/internal-regs/i2c at 11000/i2cmux at 70/i2c at 7/gpio at 71 !

Any clue where to look in order to defer probing libphy or at least 
orion_mdio_bus?

I'll post my version of the patch without the PHY IRQ (therefore 
polling will kick in).

Thanks,
Tomas
