No worries, thanks for continuing to take a look. Unfortunately, this
patch fails to build during the linking stage for me with my
configuration:

x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `free_netdev':
net/core/dev.c:11060:(.text+0xb14030): undefined reference to `phy_link_topo_destroy'
x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `alloc_netdev_mqs':
net/core/dev.c:10966:(.text+0xb142d6): undefined reference to `phy_link_topo_create'
