The AI review for patch 7 says:

  This commit fixes a bug but lacks a Fixes: tag. The commit modifies
  behavior introduced in 360000820ae2 ("phy: qcom-sgmii-eth: add
  .set_mode() and .validate() methods") by making phy_power_on() call
  qcom_dwmac_sgmii_phy_calibrate() to restore the previous setup, and by
  making qcom_dwmac_sgmii_phy_set_mode() check if the PHY is powered on
  before attempting calibration.

  Should this commit include:

  Fixes: 360000820ae2 ("phy: qcom-sgmii-eth: add .set_mode() and .validate() methods")

which is _wrong_, this isn't a bug fix.  
Yes, that's what I thought but then I saw the other thread..
Trying to apply this now but stmmac parts don't apply on Linus's tree,
and Vinod wants a tag :( What do we do? 
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.
