I tried, but it still fails with exactly the same error, meaning it still crashes with the same traceback.
Together with enabling GPIOLIB this should put ethernet in a working state again.
I am not exactly in favor of forcing GPIOLIB to be enabled for every system with Ethernet support, just because a few of them may require a gpio based phy reset. The same is true, really, for every other driver using _optional gpiolib functions. Personally, I think that the _optional functions in gpiolib _should_ return no error if gpiolib is not configured. After all, those gpio pins _are_ supposed to be optional. gpiolib should be enabled for affected configurations, ie on systems with gpio support which do need the optional gpio pins. Forcing gpiolib to be enabled even in systems with no gpio support seems to be a bit heavy-handed. It just bloats the kernel on such systems with no added benefit.
