Commit 5262eab9462a ("net: macb: allocate tieoff descriptor once across
device lifetime") moved macb_alloc_tieoff() and macb_free_tieoff() into
a CONFIG_OF block, breaking the build when it is disabled:

   drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb_main.c: In function 'macb_probe':
   drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb_main.c:5951:15: error: implicit declaration of function 'macb_alloc_tieoff' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
    5951 |         err = macb_alloc_tieoff(bp);
         |               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb_main.c:5973:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'macb_free_tieoff' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
    5973 |         macb_free_tieoff(bp);

Moving macb_alloc_tieoff() from its original positive does not appear to

nit: s/from its original positive/from its original position/

Whoops, good catch! I can send a v2 later unless one of the maintainers
don't mind fixing that during application time. Thanks for taking a
look.
