 From revision J the board uses new phy chip LAN8710. Compared
with RTL8201, RA17 pin is TXERR. It has pullup which causes phy
not to work. To fix this PA17 is muxed with GMAC function. This
makes the pin output-low.

Changes for v2:
        - The pin mux is done with Kconfig option
        - Same option is enable by default for
        A20-OLinuXino-MICRO boards

Hello,

wouldn't this break networking on pre-revision-J A20-OLinuXino_MICRO
boards?  AIUI, the A20-OLinuXino_MICRO before Revision J uses PA17 to
control the (low-active) RESETB# line of the RTL8201CP used on the
older board revisions, so with this change the PHY on pre-revision-J
boards would be held in permanent reset state.  AIUI, it would be
necessary to have two different defconfigs - the existing defconfig
for pre-revision-J boards (without CONFIG_SUN7I_GMAC_FORCE_TXERR)
and an additional new one for revision-J-and-newer boards which
sets CONFIG_SUN7I_GMAC_FORCE_TXERR=y.

Yes, the boards before rev.J uses this signal as EPHY-RST#, but only as
an option. It's disconnected by N/A resistor. So setting this as output-low
will not have any unwanted effect. You can see this in this schematic:
