This leaves an option in the tree which can be used to break FEC on i.MX3/5. depends on !SOC_IMX31 && !SOC_IMX35 && !SOC_IMX5 might be an option, but given that this patch seems to have bypassed any review I feel more like reverting it.Instead of reverting, I suggest finding a solution (Frank) to let the code work when it can work and to prevent it when it cannot. This could be kconfig, DT, or run time probing of silicon revisions, but I don't have access to this hardware, and so I can't really say how to fix it.

Please implement run-time probing. A different configuration for
each SoC is just not sustainable for distributions.
