Hi,

I've noticed that there's a Rock5b-similar board in the wild that ships with a u-boot that has ethernet enabled. Would it be possible for you to update the EVB board DTB to include Ethernet for the Rock5b?

We use RTL8125 for Ethernet on ROCK 5B, which even on Linux requires out-of-tree kernel driver. Since this is a PCIe device there is no need to edit DTS, but porting and maintaining a driver designed for another system is currently out of scope.

It appears that r8169 driver could be used with RTL8125, and U-Boot has this driver (although seems very old, written in 2003). I'll reopen this for future investigation.
