That is hard to SRU, we don't want to be adding unrelated modules to DI.

With at803x loaded
==================
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 4.10.0-10-generic #13~ubunturc2+build.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 28
23:33:09 UTC 2017 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsmod | grep at803x
at803x
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsmod | grep qcom
qcom_emac 40960 0
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 8c:fd:f0:06:90:cd
           inet addr:10.228.66.102 Bcast:10.228.66.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

So clearly as a side effect of loading at803x qcom_emac is able to get an
IP address. But I am afraid this is not something we can justify as an
SRU.
