No, this is not a issue. 
These patches need to rely on the yt8531 phy driver of motorcomm company
and the corresponding clock delay configuration to work normally, 
and the yt8531 phy driver is being submitted. I have applied the
motorcomm patchs during my test on board v1.2b, so the ethernet cannot work without
the application of the motorcomm patchs. 

For the patchs of yt8531, see [1]
