Conflicts with commit dc6597fab3e3 ("net: stmmac: dwmac-imx: keep
preamble before sfd on i.MX8MP"), merged in the meantime.

In include/linux/stmmac.h (your commit "net: stmmac: add stmmac core
serdes support" adds a "struct phy;" line, but that other commit
modifies the context by inserting:

#define STMMAC_FLAG_KEEP_PREAMBLE_BEFORE_SFD	BIT(14)

(the last stmmac flag in your context, at patch generation time, was:
#define STMMAC_FLAG_HWTSTAMP_CORRECT_LATENCY	BIT(13)
)
