I released the RC3 of kernel 5.6 for testing today.
New:
X5000 and X1000: NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MULTIPORT. Multiport matching allows you to match TCP or UDP packets based on a series of source or destination ports: normally a rule can only match a single range of ports. For example blocking of ports 20, 21, 22, and 23 with multiport:
iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dport 20,21,22,23 -j DROP
The multiport support is also important for Fail2Ban.
Fail2Ban is an intrusion prevention software framework (IPS) that protects computer servers from brute-force attacks.
New dtb file for the X5000/40 with fixes (Fixed getting phy_mode and the assignment of MAC addresses. We can access the DPAA Ethernet interfaces with setting up IP addresses on the X5000/40 but the connection to the network doesn't work.)
Freescale IOMMU support (CONFIG_FSL_PAMU) for the DPAA Ethernet

Is there anything extra I need to install to get ethernet working? My systems shows mac addresses against eth0 and eth1 but I get absolutely nothing for either. I have inserted a wifi module and using that for the time being as i have the onboard ethernet in use on my OS4.1 side. I am currently using your rc4 cyrus.eth.dtb.

I self nominate for idiot of the week. I was using 5.6-alpha4 and not rc4, well it is 0330 in the morning here. All up and running, brilliant. Thanks for all your combined hard work on getting ethernet working.
