Guenter, can you please test if the following patch fixes your setup:

 	reset_gpios = devm_gpiod_get_array_optional(dev, "reset",

This doesn't make your ethernet work, but at least the driver should
fail in a clean way.

Together with enabling GPIOLIB this should put ethernet in a working
state again.

Best regards
Uwe
