I am seeing the same failure symptoms reported by ChenYu on my RockPro64
with v5.14. Reverting the revert i.e., 2d26f6e39afb ("net: stmmac:
dwmac-rk: fix unbalanced pm_runtime_enable warnings") brings back the
network.

Not sure about the other RK3399 boards but RockPro64 is easily
available.

I tried to look for the differences between RK3568 and RK3399 but the
upstream device tree doesn't seem to carry a gmac node in the device
tree for EK3568 EVB1. Do you have a pointer for the dts you're using?

Also, other than the warning "Unbalanced pm_runtime_enable!" do you
notice any other ill-effects without your patch?

If this affects all RK3399 boards as ChenYu suggests quite a few users
are going to miss the network once they upgrade.
