OK, so net-next works.  Looking harder that's because of:
commit 37685f6a63eeca2135d1f704e7638409a071b1f6
Author: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi at ti.com>
Date:   Tue Feb 19 08:46:33 2019 -0800

    ARM: dts: am335x-evm: Fix PHY mode for ethernet

which changes:
 &cpsw_emac0 {
        phy-handle = <&ethphy0>;
-       phy-mode = "rgmii-txid";
+       phy-mode = "rgmii-id";
 };


Which explains why things work but I still cannot believe that despite
"DT is ABI" and "You cannot break existing DT binaries" we're apparently
breaking existing DT binaries.
