Yes

The Ethernet driver is newly added in these patches, this entry was not
used before.
This has to match the device name and the device name is now named
1e10b308.eth because this only uses the register range of the pmac and
not of the complete switch core, this is different to the old driver
used in OpenWrt.

The lantiq clock code should really be converted to the common clock
framework so we can define this in device tree and do not need this code
any more.
I am planning to do this, but want to wait till the xrx500 clk code from
these patches is in mainline:
https://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2018-06/msg00092.html
There are already some more recent versions available internally.

The AR10 has a similar switch core, but I haven't tested this device
with this Ethernet driver, but there is a good chance it works out of
the box when the sysctrl.c gets adapted and the correct device tree is
provided.
I do not know exactly what the grx390 SoC is, this is probably some
uncommon name for one of the Lantiq / Intel SoCs, I have to look this up.

I will update the commit massage for the v2.
