Hello

Sorry I didnt get your original email.

Tested on top of next-20201030.
I have added a debug """rdev_info(rdev, "%s DEFER\n", __func__);""" and I confirm this hack is used since I got "vcc-gmac-phy: machine_constraints_voltage DEFER"

So if you send the patch you can add:
Tested-by: Corentin Labbe <clabbe.montjoie at gmail.com>
Tested-on: sun8i-r40-bananapi-m2-ultra
