Actually, I did drop this in version 1. But when I added the imx8ulp compatible
property to the fsl,fec.yaml, the maintainer expected imx8ulp to be compatible
with imx6ul and with imx6q. The patch of fsl,fec.yaml as follows:

--- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/fsl,fec.yaml
+++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/fsl,fec.yaml
@@ -58,6 +58,11 @@ properties:
               - fsl,imx8qxp-fec
           - const: fsl,imx8qm-fec
           - const: fsl,imx6sx-fec
+      - items:
+          - enum:
+              - fsl,imx8ulp-fec
+          - const: fsl,imx6ul-fec
+          - const: fsl,imx6q-fec

For compliant with the fsl,fec.yaml, so I added the imx6q-fec in the later 
version. And the patch of the fsl,fec.yaml has already applied to the 
upstream kernel. Therefore, I think it does not matter if the imx6q-fec is
added.
