Is this the issue "[PATCH v3 0/5] r8a7778/bockw: fix SMSC Ethernet for MP" (https://marc.info/?l=linux-sh&m=144172695421685&w=2) was meant to fix? irqchip: renesas-intc-irqpin: r8a7778 IRLM setup support ARM: shmobile: r8a7778: enable IRLM setup via DT ARM: shmobile: bockw dts: enable SMSC interrupt ARM: shmobile_defconfig: enable PINCTRL_SINGLE ARM: multi_v7_defconfig: enable PINCTRL_SINGLE Seems like only the first patch in that series ever made it upstream.
