Hi,
The change in this commit completes the changes made in this previous commit:

commit c6e26ea8c893687a83c9feda7ab4f89205e19726
Author: Madalin Bucur <madalin.bucur@xxxxxxx>
Date:   Mon Oct 16 21:36:07 2017 +0300

    dpaa_eth: change device used

    Change device used for DMA mapping to the MAC device that is an
    of_device, with proper DMA ops. Using this device for the netdevice
    should also address the issue with DSA scenarios that need the
    netdevice to be backed by an of_device.

If this particular previous commit is missing from the tree, the dpaa_remove() fix is not required.

Thanks,
Madalin
