The problem will be that this series has dependencies on the first
batch of qcom-ethqos patches, particularly:
cd0aa6515350 ("net: stmmac: pass interface mode into fix_mac_speed()
method")
b560938163db ("net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: pass phy interface mode to
configs")
fb42f19e671f ("net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: move SerDes speed
configuration")

which enables the change in the third patch of this series - and
without the third patch, none of the following patches in this series
can be applied.

I'm not sure what to suggest either.
