Hello,
can you give this ARM64 test kernel a try?
https://people.canonical.com/~phlin/kernel/lp-1835054-mvpp2/
ubuntu@starmie-kernel:~$ grep MVPP /boot/config-5.0.0-2*
/boot/config-5.0.0-21-generic:CONFIG_MVPP2=m
ubuntu@starmie-kernel:~$ sudo modprobe mvpp2
ubuntu@starmie-kernel:~$ lsmod | grep mvpp2
mvpp2 110592 0
phylink 36864 1 mvpp2

Title:
Missing NIC driver for Armada 8040 (Macchiatobin)
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
At least in Ubuntu 19.04, the arm64 kernel (linux-image-5.0.0) is not
building CONFIG_MVPP2 (depends on CONFIG_ARCH_MVEBU) - a driver for
network controllers(s) in Marvell SOCs, particularly Armada 8040 -
neither as a model or a built-in:
$ uname -m
aarch64
$ grep MVPP2 /boot/config-5.0.0-20-generic
$
It makes very hard (and impossible for non-advanced users) to install
and use Ubuntu on the Macchiatobin board (http://macchiatobin.net/) -
a reasonably priced and performant server/mini-desktop platform.
Could it be added, please, and the installer image re-generated.
