This is a tricky one. 

Fixes: 070246e4674b ("net: stmmac: Fix for mismatched host/device DMA
address width") is when support for different DMA address widths was
added. This fix cannot easily be back ported past that.

070246e4674b first appears in v6.3-rc4.

dwmac-qcom-ethqos.c first appears in v5.1-rc1. However, Qualcomm did
not start hacking on it until v6.7-rc6. It is unclear to me without a
deep dive when Qualcomm actually started using this driver.

We might actually be looking at this the wrong way, and should in fact
be looking at when a DT patch was added that made use of the driver,
not the driver itself. If it was not used, it cannot be broken....
