This alone is not enough.

With only this patch, it's 7.  With this added to mx6cuboxi.c:
-       phydev = phy_find_by_mask(bus, ETH_PHY_MASK, PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII);
+       phydev = phy_find_by_mask(bus, ETH_PHY_MASK, PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID);
it's 8, and doesn't work either.  Moving on to the next emails now.
